Ted, > I watched as CA physically ran down.....as its infrastructure began to deteriorate...roughly ten years after Prop 13. The infrastructure is just fine around here. I can't refute what you observed around the time frame you were here, but since you continue to make generalizations based on obsolete "knowledge," I can only conclude that what you're saying is all B.S. People are leaving because the productive middle class is getting squeezed. CA is now ranked one of the worst states to do business in, which is now why unemployment is now at 11.2%. Yet the population keeps growing mainly because of immigrants, some legal, some illegal, most coming from backgrounds of poverty. The result? A growing gap between rich and poor. Repeat Prop. 13 and guess who you're going to screw? That's right, the middle class. Immigrants hardly own property, and the rich can afford it, but the end result is the very class stratification that you ironically wanted to eliminate. Think before you speak. Tenchusatsu
