Yep, punish the evil Landlord for trying to make a buck. I guess all housing should be publicly subsidized.
So all you resident Socialists, If the government owns my house, will the government fix my roof when a Hail storm hits? will the government replace my AC when it goes out? I guess remodeling to my own tastes is out of the question as well. We all get gray carpet, tan walls and vinyl tile in the kitchen and baths. Who's gonna do home improvements on property they don't own? What kind of wait will there be for me to get onto the governments waiting list for a new AC unit?
