I will not be voting for the Captivating Princess because I don't like her dog.

That's actually the Empresses' dog.

But the puppy is so adorable! Sure its alter-ego eats some chains or something, but it's a jekyll/hyde type thing and I'm not sure the puppy even realizes it.

When you get a nightmare hound, you quickly learn that they are the sweetest things. To their owners anyway.

Ooops.
Well, I still don't like animals that the Princess keeps.

You're somewhat burying the lead. The Captivating Princess wants to demolish Spite and build something marvelous on its ruins. Which is just the sort of grand design we've all come to expect from the greatest of Her Majesty's children. Remember how Napoleon III redesigned Paris, tracing out the new boulevards with a divine hand? London could be greater than Paris!
btw, doesn't the Music Hall Singer live in Spite? We might be hearing from her at some point.

Rebuilding Spite sounds awesome but honestly we cannot expect something like this from FBG. At most there would be a tiny fate-locked story with new Mayor, not a major change for all players.

Call me cynical, call me untrusting, but I'm not quite convinced that the Princess's plans for slum clearances involve replacing said slums with, say, decent-quality, affordable housing.

I don't think Napoleon III and Paris is quite the right comparison to Princess's plan for Spite. To me, what really comes to mind is Nero's Domus Aurea. Only the Princess might actually be playing the fiddle.

Doesn't sound cynical to me. I mean, she is already sealing the doors to tenements shut. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Menaulon?fromEchoId=14265379

I am delighted by the wisdom some of you have shown, but disappointed in the misdirected priorities of others. Where is your vision? The Princess alone among the candidates understands the power of art to transform and to enlighten! The transfiguration of Spite is nothing less than a profound act of kindness: it offers those without hope for a meaningful future a chance to engage tangibly with the act of creation, to become a part of something beautiful and enduring. To claim she does not care for the people of London is to reveal the tragic limits of your own compassion.

Hear hear!
The clearance and transformation of Spite might at first glance seem like a heartless policy, but it is really in the best interests of its inhabitants. Spite as it now exists is a wretched slum of broken tenements and sweatshops, menaced by crime and disease, overflowing with drunks and stray cats. Spite is a great sore, one its people stick to from misplaced sentiment and lack of alternatives. By clearing it all away, Spites people will be freed from the miasmic pollution that has held them down. They shall be given new, cleaner, safer homes in the vacant lands of Bugsby's Marsh. And as replacing Spite with the great avenues of glory envisioned by the Princess in her heavenly dreams will naturally require considerable labor, Spite's former inhabitants will be given well compensated jobs by which to pay for their new, superior homes. So the people as a whole shall benefit from the modernization and beautification of the city, as the people of Paris benefited from the grand designs of the Emperor Napoleon III.

Perhaps this is pointless conjecture, but I was curious what others might make of it.
Many of us already know of the Princess's... appetites. She even says that she wants London to delight the appetite. In a potentially unrelated note, the Jovial Contrarian believes she is planning a journey and her heart is not in London.
Could it be that the lovely princess is Seeking the Name? Would such an esteemed and important person really journey North?

The marriage of Feducci heavily hinted she had interest in the elder continent.
