The next election will be the only protest that matters, I fear, and even then the anti-tenant legislation might just get grandfathered in since all the elected class own property.

Maybe there should be a rule that municipal representatives should not own property except for the one they’re living in.
But right away I can see how they’d loophole out of it – putting properties in their partner’s name, or investing in real estate trusts instead.
