Socialism will end the " problem " of landlords. They will no longer
OWN their property.Democratic socialists reject even so called "
legitimate " wealth. The wealth of ALL landlords and capitalists is
based on the daily exploitation and oppression of the working class. For
all its slobbering over " identity politics " Brown University is
antagonistic to poor working class people.

[ " Rent control sounds good, but it leads to housing shortages. Rental
units are not built because the return on investment is constrained,
some that exist are allowed to deteriorate as landlords cannot recoup
the costs
of renovation or maintenance, some rental units are converted into condos, tenants in rent-controlled units don't move because they want to keep the low rent they have, even if the dwelling is unsuitable, and some tenants sublet to others for higher rents. The history of rent control is very plain to see, and it's not pretty." ]
