“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.”

despite proposition 13, property tax revenue has gone up nearly 10% annually for the past decade. This is much higher than (the official rate of) inflation during the same time period.

If we are nearly bankrupt after a decade of 9% annual increases in property tax revenue there is nearly certainly a spending problem rather than a lack of revenue problem, in my opinion.

Nice charts here in around the middle of the page:

I don’t have a pool, but this is an interesting question: About $100 at 2008 rates.

I made the assumption that an “average” pool size is about 20,000 gallons. 2008 average price per gallon for residential customers of San Diego was .00463 dollars. I rounded this to .005. (I would have used projected 2009 prices if I could have found them)

Did anyone catch this show?

I’m wondering if it is worth watching if it happens to run again.

Thanks

I wonder if they will mention that Alan Greenspan was an advisor to one of the hedge funds that made the most betting on the housing collapse.
