If only we hiked everyone's property taxes 4X then CA would have great schools, roads, no homeless, better parks and more cops.

In 60 years some neighbors will pay 32x more in property tax for similar houses. In 300 years, some neighbors will pay 503x more. Totally sane system.

What if someone doesn’t have kids? I assume they still pay the school taxes?

But at the same time the current system gives many wealthy homeowners a break they don’t need, and prices lower income people out of the market or newcomers out of their homes, also sometimes resulting in homelessness. Tax protections should be based on need, not longevity.

The property tax system is so badly broken. Fixing it is really hard. Some of my neighbors bought 20-30 years ago and are stuck; can’t move. If they did move across town they couldn’t afford the 10-20x increase in prop tax. So they stay, even though they don’t want to.

Oops, not 10-20x more like 5-10x
