Participant[quote=4plexowner]there are issues with Prop 13 – it could well be reformed[/quote]
There are some inequities WRT prop 13 and non-residential property but with the way our state spends money, the minute the protection on the residential home owner is removed be prepared for a housing collapse that makes the current one look like a blip. We are in a severe recession and yet the fed, the state and the city are ALL raising taxes/fees and sticking it to the citizens. If you think that property taxes are any different you’re high.
Screw with prop 13 or the home mortgage interest deduction and I’m walking away from my house and I’m sure many feel the same way.

You are brave to suggest any changes to Prop 13. Your points are reasonable, but they won’t be heard.
Prop. 13 has done a tremendous amount of damage to the state’s fiscal situation and, as your examples illustrate, has many negative side effects.
But none of that matters, because the anecdote about a little old lady losing her home will scuttle any possibility of an objective debate.

[/quote]This is a bunch of crap. The assessed value of real estate in CA doubled between 2000 and 2007, yet the state still managed to outspend the doubling in property tax revenue.
Our state does not have a tax problem, it has a spending problem.
