CA real estate

[kev374]

The top tax rate in CA is 9.3% but the bracket is some ridiculously low figure like everything above $50,000/yr (for singles) is taxed at the top rate so effectively for most educated people their marginal rate would be 9.3% and any increase would affect most middle class people.

Increasing the tax rate to 12% is an EXTREMELY bad idea, count me among those who will seriously consider leaving CA if this happens. I pay ludicrously high taxes as it is.

In 20 years the only jobs will be Starbucks and Lockbox sales and distribution.

This should probably go in the “other taxes” category.
I just pulled permits for a new house. The combination of new fees and increases in previously existing ones effectively doubled to tripled the total I paid as compared to a project 3 years ago(don’t want to dig up the receipts). This house is much smaller with the exact same zoning and design elements. No one else in the industry can raise rates and most are lowering them to compete due to the lagging market. Of the other materials and services related to building only the governments bite and necessary metal products,copper and steel, are up.

CA now has the third-highest unemployment rate in the nation. So we should raise taxes in order to beat up on those nasty employers.
