Yes, lets change it and toss all them old people out on the street! All hail the revolution of the young!
The discussion about public safety regarding the murder mentioned in this article or the murder this week on BART in Oakland has nothing to do with Prop 13. Public safety should be priority no.1 with whatever tax dollars are available.
I'm suspect of any article that tries to make simplistic causation arguments about the dysfunction of CA gov and Prop 13. CA raises significant tax $$$, and has many ways to capture more tax from land such as >60% cap gains tax for speculators, gross rent tax & closing loopholes.
CA does, local jurisdictions don’t. Revenue as a percentage of GDP for property tax was cut in half after prop 13
Local politics are tough. That people essentially volunteer to serve is a constant amazement. Local means we’re all in the game. Important to remember.
but I am not sure how partisan it is, given the spread of one-party local governments. When I was born San Francisco still had a Republican mayor (George Christopher)
When you tell people that CA’s public sector absorbs about as much of the state’s GDP as gov’t in the three highest states in the US (NY, CT, NJ), they often say, “Ok, that sounds like it’s enough.” P13 may be bad policy, but it hasn’t hurt CA’s total gov’t revenue.
better be glad of Prop 13. if market value equalization had remained, the Crash of '08 would have obliterated local tax revenue.
