Sorry for the long T/J, HLS, but Prop 13 and its progeny are CA’s version of a “public housing subsidy” with which its “rich” and most “well-established” families just so happened to be the most “poised” to take the ball and run with it at the time Prop 13 was passed, subsequently reaping the most benefit from the laws.
Thanks for the platform, anyway. After my plat-map studies, I’ll create an instructive new thread on this very controversial subject (“holy grail or no,” lol) which is that elephant squeezed in front of the dais at 1301 10th St, Sac 95814 with no room to drop its peanut shells:
If I was a (properly funded) lobbyist for CA tax reform, I would have no problem whatsoever with helping to draft reform measures for the state ballot and going to county to county with my power point presentation graphically illustrating to the voters the gross inequities within their own counties which were inherently built into our present (failed) property tax “system” which was and is 75-80% the cause of CA’s broken budget, imho (the other 20-25% cause being the effects of unfunded mandates due to illegal immigration).
