"You may not be paying your fair share but the market might take care of that." What a weird view of the world. You say I should pay my "fair share" of CA infrastructure. Yet If my house goes up in value, even if I have no intention of selling, My share should increase? Then in the same breath if my house value falls then obviously CA doesnt need as much money for infrastructure? You for some reason think its "fair" for some arbitrary beurocrate to decide what the state "feels" is a fair value and rate for my home? How about this. I'll pay 1% of the purchase price and give you a 2% increase per year. YOU learn to spend within those limitations. Letting the state decide is just plain stupid. Ask people that dont have prop 13. PROP 13 for everyone EVEN YOU!!
