recordsclerk, thats a total red herring. There are lots of ways to keep people in their houses that don’t involve unfair taxation policies. First of all, how long someone has lived in a place has little to do with what infrastructure maintenance costs.
Second prop 13 is a bold faced lie, its an attempt to starve the beast, not save little old ladies. If you don’t like the way govt spends your money, vote for a govt that will do so responsibly. Don’t try and short circuit the taxation collection when its really the spending people object to.
All prop 13 really does is shift the burden from long time residents to newer ones, regardless of age. Does the little old lady next door use the roads less? How about ambulances, police and fire? I bet she uses more of those, but doesn’t pay her fair share.
