Not nominally, but she copied "progressive" policies of the US Democrats run cities:

  • tax increases
  • allowing homeless to camp anywhere in the cities
  • housing first approach
  • normalizing hard drugs trade and use

And I think the results will be the same as in San Francisco and anywhere else such policies were implemented

Changes in Toronto are already pretty obvious

I don't really have an opinion on weather this particular decision is justified - tenant boards are known to usually side with tenants. But, to be fair, setting rent controlled increases to amount less then inflation is not really fair - it creates imbalances, where wealthy tenant maybe paying way less than market rates (like surgeons renting in San Francisco)

Do you propose to start building communism? If not, how exactly this is going to work?
