>>Without prop 13...doesn't a $600k house return to $200k in shortER order? Which ought to tell you the effects of tax breaks on houses etc. Throw in a repeal of the zero cap gains tax on the sale of a primary residence and the $200k turns into about $150k. It would be more but we've already fallen a bunch so less people have a profit.<<

read it again - it doesn't say what you think it says.

it says that housing will fall more quickly with prop 13 repealed - it doesn't say how much more quickly.

we are already down 50% in some areas. another 16% is a gimme if interest rates continue to increase.

if you took econ 101, you would know why they will increase over time.
