    Yeah, we generally are an example of the 5 day rule as I saw a text book call it. Basically nothing is certain until five days after an election. The reason for V days is because it covers a full work week roughly.

      Too bad the same can’t be said about the national election this time. Looks like the rent control one isn’t going well either, which is bananas given a majority of voters are renters.

        There was a massive push in the last week to tell people it would end all new housing developments, triple rent, and make us all homeless. All of the major newspapers and the governor came out on that line.

        Which is ridiculous of course but there was no time to refute it.

          I didn’t know the governor said that. And the cons so exist, but really only to landlords and rich people like him.

          I’ll be honest that rent control isn’t perfect though. A band aid at best.
