Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Donald Trump also finished his first 100 days this week, and marked the occasion with a rambling speech that, as Keith Duggan put it, would leave fact-checkers with a migraine.
54% : The new body would be empowered to break logjams in the planning and development process, enforcing better collaboration between different agencies and government entities.
53% : While there was some suggestion of additional measures such as tax incentives for developers and the reform of rent control zones, little in the way of concrete proposals had emerged.
