We really elected a right-leaning Mayor with zero political experience who hangs out with billionaires, is against renter protections, and could not name the two Ministers of Housing or have an actual plan for the crisis. I'm in disbelief.
Q9 Final: 72% of homeowners answered yes, that they do belong - compared to 25% of renters.
