I am proud to say that despite all my anger directed towards the tech industry in CA and their disrespect for the labor pool and the consumer driven economy- on this taxation issue they are RIGHT. The tech companies want to drop proposition 13, first for business and second for homeowners, and the net effect of that will be plenty of real estate available for new homebuyers in desirable areas like SV. Local schools will improve which are pathetic structures suffering from years of neglect too. The older generation in the US has to start paying their own way for a change if you ask me. I'm sure you are younger than me btw.

Prop. 13 was and still is a straight-arm in the face of the young adults of California. They get the same bennies. They just start later. The higher price you paid for your house because you bought 10 years later than I did was not caused by me. I was caused by the Politicians in Washington who inflated your money, and the ones in Sacramento and Berkeley whose restrictions on building jumped your land cost. Same benefit my Sons and Daughter have had in the last few years. I think you have no real comprehension of what your property taxes would be if those bastards could raise them. It's bad enough they can raise your assessment two percent a year.
