<OT> Zeuspaul, fyi plenty of houses in Silicon Valley that were $100K 20 years ago are $1MM now. Its commonplace. Some houses that were $50K 20 years ago are $1MM today too (these are the houses that have a lot of once worthless land). It should tell you something that someone like me doesnt even own a house. Im 34 years old and a former director at Oracle. Think about that.

But you are correct, I didnt really mean it that a 50 yr old would pay $100/yr and I would pay $10,000/yr. I would pay more, for sure, but not that much more.

But heres the issue: You are asking me, and the people that work for me, to pay more for something simply because we are younger than you. And the fact that this item is a basic necessity like housing is really unacceptable. And were talking about exponentially more, too.

I dont know if people that support prop 13 think my generation is stupid, or what. How can conservatives support this unfair wealth redistribution law while at the same time trying to abolish other entitlements? Because its a sweet deal for you thats why! You are showing your true colors with your support of this age discrimination law. When you are retired, my guess is you will be just as unreasonable and greedy as the AARP crowd is now.

True, the correct answer to this problem is to solve taxation issues in California. Which will no doubt mean people over 45 will experience a rise in taxes.
