[quote=pokepud3]How is it not fair that older people who used their mind and invested in someplace that was cheaper and took risks to do that, pay less taxes then the newer people who bought knowing their prices will be high.
Can’t believe how many of you guys are totally jealous of the old farts next door and can’t hold it in. Totally sickens me, when a law that is meant to bring some stability into everyone’s life, and is only doing good to people who use it correctly, can actually be said to be a bad thing.
When your on a fixed income with your wife, can’t find a job due to high unemployment, and you already paid off your loan after 30-40 years of hard work, in California we’re the type of people who voted and said that those type of people deserve to live in their homes without having to feel threatened by higher property taxes.
Why? Because one day when we’re at that stage we would want that for ourselves.
Wish upon others what you wish for yourselves, not to mention taxes almost NEVER will go down in california no matter what.[/quote]
Agreed. What I’ve been trying to say. When you are older, you will appreciate that your taxes are fixed, just like your income.
BG – I did not purchase any residence pre 1978 and I have no kids of my own. And I still think Prop 13 is a good thing.
