    And expansion of rent control. And a minimum wage hike.

    I voted to get all three taken care of, none passed.

    Oh, but Prop 36 passed, so more people can potentially become prison slaves.

      Oh and 34 which will ensure that HIV/AIDS orgs, like those that supported prop 33, will not be able to engage in political advocacy. This has truly been a garbage election with garbage people supporting garbage policies or refusing to stand against garbage.

          Why is it on the ballot?

          The short answer is that a lot of politicians and housing interest groups really don’t like Michael Weinstein.

          Not petty at all, nuh-uh!

          Though Weinstein has plenty of political foes, a familiar one is funding this initiative: The California Apartment Association, the state’s premier landlord lobby and a major opponent of rent control.

          Fucking landlords ruining everything for everyone as usual 🤦🤬
