To be clear, I'm not saying (just like the article is not saying) that we shouldn't build more housing. Just that there is not nearly enough emphasis on systemic inequality in housing debates. Building more housing is not a silver bullet to the problem.

Sure, what part of it do you want to talk about? (Also feels like a place to call in

is @eparillon here? It's honestly too bad there aren't many people who work on the financing side on Twitter.
