She has the support of the CTU who has publicly stated that $100k households are “rich” and “don’t pay their fair share”, thus need to pay a city income tax. They also want a LaSalle St tax on financial trading. They want to tax everything to pay into their pensions.

And, yes, she favors rent control.

So she’s not just bad for real estate. She’s bad for everybody except for a few public unions. Everybody else be damned
