What does “abolish landlords” look like in practise? What is that slogan suggesting exactly?

This does not even begin to answer my question.

I haven’t seen that used as a motto by a consistent group that might also have a longer explainer.

But, presumably, it would force all rental agreements to be replaced with mortgages. Presumably, hotel/motels could still provide long-term non-mortgage housing, but they have a good amount of regulation and generally provide services currently landlords do not.

Alternatively, it might be non-literal motto that doesn’t want to abolish landlords, but rather to more severely regulate them.

Keep voting for the same people that your state has had in charge for 30 years, that’s definitely going to fix the problems that have been getting worse and worse.

Ok so you missed the point.

Democrats have been in charge for 30+ years. They’ve been in charge and helped create these problems. Do you think they will fix them?

Republicans didn’t get CA into this mess, Democrats did.
