I can't read the whole article due to a paywall. But I would be curious to know how the author addresses that the winner of the mayoral election was also the FPTP winner.
> The victor in that 16-way race was Jacob Frey, who prevailed after six rounds of counting that took 24 hours to complete. He became mayor despite being the first choice of only 25% of voters.
Looks like even though he was only 25% of voters first choice, that's still a plurality. He was the first-round winner too[0]. So what difference did RCV make?
