    Time to place that SF Chronicle article from 1978 again about the time that @jerrybrowngov warned us that if we passed Prop. 13, we wouldn’t have free public university tuition anymore in California. https://twitter.com/kimmaicutler/status/1070204442966818817?s=21 …https://twitter.com/ptraughber/status/1078743970388144128 …

    Kim-Mai Cutler added,

    Patrick Traughber @ptraughber
    There’s a house in our neighborhood in San Francisco which if assessed at its current value, would contribute $165k a year in property taxes, but due to Prop 13, they pay just $9k. That difference on a single house would pay for 3 full time teacher salaries at the local schools.

        That’s really not the reason. California takes 11% of income in revenues, 6th highest in the US. The reliance on capital gains is sub-optimal & volatile, but our lack of funding is more about where we choose to spend our money than total amount of revenue. https://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2017/jul/11/travis-allen/mostly-true-californias-taxes-among-highest-nation/ …

        Hm.... why might the state need to over-rely on income and capital gains taxes...? Might it be a consequence of its property tax structure?

        The problem is that the people that live there very likely couldn't afford the higher taxes. I know that we would have had to move when I became unable to work if not for Prop 13, and we just live in a 70s tract home in Orange County.

        What we really need to do is figure out a way to make land less of a profit center, because that is making it hard to survive in CA.

        any discussion about how the state’s coffers are full from the income tax on huge salaries and cities are starving from prop 13?

        I’m with you, but I do wonder how things would have played out had it not passed, in terms of housing. Do you suppose there would have been less appreciation? No doubt this has been simulated.

        If that house paid higher taxes, that revenue might go to a variety of uses, but not to the schools, which are funded by the state under a per-student formula, completely independently of local tax revenue.

        This narrative is silly. Look at tuition of other state school peers (UVa, North Carolina, Texas, etc) over the same time period. Growth rate has been the same.
