I think that's the intent right? How else are property values going to stop skyrocketing if no one is under any sell pressure?

I'm far from progressive, and I kind of hate all of her other policy positions - but her housing approaches are at least novel. We have to try something

I've literally been looking for this information for weeks, thanks so much for putting this together! Everyone get out and vote, even if you don't think anything will happen - we've had insanely close mayoral elections across Canada recently.

That's not how democracy works, restricting people's ability to express their emotions only further radicalizes them - that's how you get insurrections and civil wars.
