[quote=CA renter]IMHO, there is nothing wrong with Prop 13. Older residents should not have to pay the expenses for the infrastructure burdens caused by new residents.[/quote]
Why not? This is society in a nutshell. Imagine if people could just decide to lock in their income taxes at some arbitrary level. Subsequent programs – right or wrong – would suffer funding problems. If the programs are wrong, then residents should speak up and object, and/or vote out their representation. Right now, Prop 13 enables ambivalence – an overwhelming problem in our country as a whole.
