Agree

No

Given the Forward Party's emphasis on innovative and pragmatic solutions to economic challenges, they might be more inclined to explore alternative methods to increase housing affordability without imposing strict rent control policies. They could support measures that encourage the development of affordable housing through incentives for builders, tax benefits, or easing zoning laws, rather than direct government intervention in setting rent prices.
