ParticipantWhatever the economics of delaying the payment of property taxes, or the foolishness of his investment advice, this fraud of getting the homeowners exemption is a big deal. It is deliberate and illegal.
Doesn’t the County have safeguards against such a claim? What do George Chamberlain’s various employers in the mainstream media think about this?ParticipantWhatever the economics of delaying the payment of property taxes, or the foolishness of his investment advice, this fraud of getting the homeowners exemption is a big deal.

Our per pupil spending ranks us in about the middle as compared to other states.
Yet our average teacher pay is highest or second highest in the nation.
Why is this? Simple, our average class sizes are huge. About 20 years ago, our strong teachers unions had a choice between higher pay accompanied by bigger class sizes, and smaller classes accompanied by more normal teacher paychecks.
They chose the money, to the detriment of the kids.ParticipantSome background to understand K-12 education spending in CA:

Until recently, I was a believer in inflation in the long term ultimately driving interest rates higher. But the deflationary atmosphere is just too powerful, and even the government’s upcoming massive deficit spending and the Fed’s loose monetary policy is, so far anyway, not enough to offset the psychology of deflation.
And yet, if I were a mortgage lender, I wouldn’t make a 30-year loan at 5%, or 6%, or 7%. Inflation’s day will come.ParticipantI’d bet on steadily lower rates for at least the next six months as the recession casts it deflationary pall over everything.

It has suffered about a 20% fall off the peak, which was about 2005-6.
The big 5,000 – 6,000 s.f. houses have fallen the most; the little one-story casitas of 2100 – 2400 s.f. the least. The latter appeal to empty nesters and down-sizers who want the great atmosphere but not the 5-6 bedrooms.
Not much shopping nearby, but isolation and gated community aspect appeals to many. -
