If Prop 13 is impossible to undo that implies the people want a restriction on these taxes.

The restriction is not an unreasonable one. Both the state government, and many CA local governments, have above average levels of income per resident (even after you adjust for CA's higher prices). They have enough money to provide a decent level over services in the state.

The problem is of course that the politicians and to a great extent the voters (and in a few specific cases the courts which have mandated a small part of the spending, at least part of the prison expenses according to the article's Ted's quoted) don't really want to reign in spending either.
