that’s right folks, an ex-landlord (and maybe future landlord) is recommending changes to Prop 13 that will hurt landlords

fair is fair

and yes, I know that changes to Prop 13 and winged monkeys flying out of my butt have about the same odds of occurring

I was NOT suggesting that we change Prop 13 at this point, just that there are changes that could be made

IMO most cities, counties and states are flat broke and busted (face it folks, the system is broken!) – we’ve already had two cities go bankrupt (iirc) and CA will probably be the first state to declare bankruptcy [if you have $$$ in municipal or state bonds be careful!]

raising taxes and fees is not the answer to these fiscal woes but that is what will be attempted first

at some point Americans and their supposed leaders will have to live within their means (which means massive cuts to spending) but that day will be postponed as long as possible
