I am never for higher taxes in this state. And sadly if prop 13 was done away with, it would not be balanced with lower taxes for everyone else. So given the current state of CA politics, I can not support the repeal of prop 13. But if we are in a fantasy land thought experiment, I would whole heartedly support the repeal. It seems incredibly unfair, old people should have to pay equal taxes. If the neighborhood they moved into turns into LJ 20 years after buying, and they can’t afford the taxes, vote for lower taxes or move out like the rest of us. But if we heap a repeal of prop 13 onto the current tax rates, well that is just confiscatory.
