.....if the state of CA defaults, then "permanently frozen property tax rates" (that had to be prop 13.......

What does one have to do to get it through to you that Prop 13, DOES NOT PERMANENTLY FREEZE PROPERTY TAX!

And where is that info about Pleasanton being broke because the old fuddy duddies didn't sell out when People Soft moved in?

I can tell you if you'll listen? Pleasanton is not broke, not even close. They have a huge income and solid general fund stemming form their commercially zoned property and high citizen income levels. Every city within twenty miles wishes they had Pleasanton's problems.

Plus a guy named Joe Callihan had the vision to propose and develop the very business park PST is in and lost it all in those wonderful 80's you spoke of.

Prop 13 is written into the State Constitution, and a default isn't going to get rid of it. Nothing short of getting the electorate to amend the Constitution is going to remove it. And that is very unlikely to happen. You're not going to find a lot of voters getting all weepy over the plight of NCG crybabies who think California taxpayers owe them a house at a price they find appealing.
