ParticipantBump.
OK, we’ve talked this issue to death. But seeing this on the bottom of the “Active forum topics”, I think we should give BigGovernmentIsGood one more chance to respond to the flood of empirical data contradicting him.
So…you there Big?EconProf

ParticipantI’ve read elsewhere that green jobs are from one to three percent of CA jobs, depending on how one defines “green” jobs. I know that some definitions are pretty silly, including for example all trash haulers, recyclers, etc.
What we do know is that if you double the number of green jobs, and in the process cripple the vast majority of jobs in the rest of the economy, you have a net job loss in the state.
And BGIG, in the early part of the lengthy study you cited here, that is exactly what it predicted.EconProf

ParticipantNot sure what you mean here Joec.
Basically, the assessor should not value any property higher than its market value. If they are too high, you can appeal and get it lowered. You have to justify your appeal with comps, etc. and make your case. If you just bought a property in a free and open market transaction, that should be a pretty convincing argument. Once the assessed value is lowered, the assessment should stay low if the real market value stays low.
However, once the market demonstrably recovers, the assessor has the right to “catch up” by raising it accordingly, even if by more than 2% a year.
The limitation of 2% a year increases under Prop 13 uses as a benchmark your original assessment. Once the catching up phase is done and the assessor hits the 2% per year limitation, Prop 13 will protect you from big annual increases.EconProf

ParticipantWhat is amazing is that this was three and a half years ago, and pretty much the same trends are playing out. The Fed, deficit spenders, and RE schills are still trying to goose the market, and the renters and taxpayers are still getting the shaft.
Time to call out all the 2007 optimists, be they politicians, economists, lenders, and RE industry insiders, and hang their awful record in a sign around their necks. A conscientious mainstream meadia would do exactly this; instead we have learned to trust sites like this. -
