Hi, I have 2 questions

Hi, I have 2 questions related to 4s ranch mello roos. maybe general mello roos rules/considerations.

1. seems large portion of mello roos might be tax deductible now, at least CA FTB removed the section to enforce mello roos is not tax deductible.

so will paying mello roos tax and getting tax benefits have a much better advantage than paying off mello roos upfront now?

2. how mello roos for the bond is calculated between homes built in 2012 and homes built in 2005?
say a bond issued in 2005, and the cost is split by 50 homes built before 2005; and after another 50 homes are built in 2012, is the cost now shared evenly across all 100 homes and be recalculated?
