OT: No bailout for California

[rnen]

It is not the fault of prop 13, they are just trying to prepare everyone for the attempt to get rid of it. We are in this mess as a result of over spending, an excess of entitlements and the cost of illegal immigration. The pin heads in power will not rein in spending unless we force them to and they will try and scare everyone into believing there are no ther options than an increase in taxes.

Any attempt to remove prop 13 would be political suicide. But since the Governator doesn’t care about reelection, he may give it a try.

Whoever said those properties built after prop 13 was enacted aren’t affected is full of it. Prop 13 limited tax growth, not the cost to maintain infrastructure. Furthermore commercial properties also were included. So grandma can keep her strip mall too!

Spending is part of the problem, but really its just part. Inflation is the real killer here. Prop 13 was just a symptomatic fix. It doesn’t stop the increases in cost to fix potholes or pay teachers, just the ability to collect taxes to pay for them.

I would argue that spending is the bulk of the problem. Property tax revenue has gone up faster than the rate of inflation most years of the past few decades.

Although it has softened in recent years, the real estate boom left us with a fortune from a tax revenue point of view. The fact that we were able to outspend the boom leaves me to believe that spending is the true culprit.
