I think not being able to deduct the MR is BS. I mean, technically, it’s property tax were it not for Prop 13. This is their roundabout way to go around Prop 13, but the reality is it is property tax. You should be able to deduct it. There must be some way to get a law overturned on this. It’s really screwing the homeowner. Prop 13 was supposed to help homeowners, but it just helps those who have been there for a long time. The new homeowners in new communities are really getting the shaft and carrying a load. It adds insult to injury. We will screw you w/a higher tax AND you can’t deduct it. That blows and sucks.
