you weren't here in the late 70's when i was close to being forced to sell my house
prop. taxes were going up 20, 30% year after year and we had Jimmy Carter's inflation eating us alive at the grocery store
you could watch the price of coffee and staples go up by 2, 3 cents per week
and you couldn't borrow money or refi because the interest rates were so high
it killed the middle class who revolted against the political elite and voted in prop 13
you're either too young to know what happened or have a selective memory
