“If Prop 13 were repealed, housing would be more affordable, people wouldn’t live so close to wilderness interface and better management policies could be practiced.” Is this understanding of forest fires correct? If so, what’s up with Oregon and Washington?

I believe many people have an innate desire to live close to wild, less crowded places. I don't think tax policy really influences that.

It would make land banking much more untenable and incent land use changes (wonder why so much architecture is locked into place to when prop 13 was implemented?) those 70s hand carwashes are getting taxed at their 1973 tax assessments, and only change after windfall buyout.
