Fuck you.
If you are the new husband and father youwill inherit your hard-working father's assessment. He was once a Tax Donkey, too.
will inherit your hard-working father's assessment. He was once a Tax Donkey, too.
The classic prop13 debate:
Should a newly married husband and father be paying 3x more property tax than his older next door neighbor who is grandfathered in because he bought 25yrs ago?
If you are the new husband and father you will argue that you shouldn’t pay more. If you are the older guy who bought 25yrs ago, you will argue that you should pay less.

Not if: 1)Dad didn’t own property in California
2)Dad doesn’t want to bequeath it to you
3)You have to sell the house to split the money between four kids
4)Dad lives a long time, stays at home, and you’re like 60 by the time he finally cacks. Your working life is about over and any benefit you could have gotten is done.
Prop 13 is one of the least fair things about California, classic “got mine, fuck you!”
If there was no Prop13 both would pay twice what "new husband" pays now. Look @ IL for reference.
Get taxes, squander, rinse, repeat.
Who benefits from prop 13:In 1978, when Prop 13 was passed, my cousin and her husband, who married in 1951, lived at 1923 Mount Shasta Dr. in San Pedro. The taxes were around $1,500 but if Prop 13 hadn't been passed they would have been increased to $7,500 and they would have lost the home in which they'd lived for two years and as far as I know lived their until Bent's retirement in the 80's after 30 years in the LA Police Dept. as a detective and Margaret a teacher. I don't care what the reasons are, I don't think people should be taxed out of their homes. Today its priced at $555K which seems about average for California.

Should a newly married husband and father be paying 3x more property tax than his older next door neighbor who is grandfathered in because he bought 25yrs ago?The last full year my mother lived, 1996, when she was 94, I found out after I had probated her estate that her taxes had been frozen since 1967 when she was 65 and her tax bill in 1996 was $200. The last year she lived, she had a retirement income of $39,000, which pretty much puts to rest the idea that senior citizen are at a loss for funds. I now pay something like $1,400 a year taxes on the house even after its having been frozen for over 65.

It's perfectly reasonable to complain about bad spending, special interest, and corrupt politicians in the government. But if that makes Prop 13 a good idea, then an even better idea would be to cancel all property taxes altogether.

You are comparing merely Prop 13 verses no Prop 13Well there were certainly other alternatives. I only did that because I knew people in my family specifically effected by it.
If you can make it happen, I'm behind you. I'll even contribute to your campaign. Until then Prop 13 is the only thing standing between homeowners and greedy Commie fucks in this one-party state.

This X 1000%
California is far too retarded top to bottom with super majorities of Democrats to trust them with even more of our tax money.
If Newsom and the Democrats want to start talking about slashing our.. (anything)

The problem isn't Prop13, it's the tax methodology of levying based on property market value. Prop13 doesn't solve this, it just bastardizes it such that some pay way more than others for the same goddamn services. Property taxes are levied to pay for expenses today, not 30 years ago, so all you Prop13-humpers can sit on it and rotate.
One way to solve this is to levy property taxes based on the type and size of the parcel of land. In other words, come up with a formula that better estimates the cost of municipal services such as water, infrastructure, schools, police, fire, etc. Personally, I think people with kids who use public schools should have to pay more than the DINK couple nextdoor to them--and yes, I have kids who use the public school system.
Then, any increase to property taxes has to be a measure that's voted upon and can't be arbitrarily increased by corrupt politicians. This goes without saying that property taxes must be directed to the appropriate e...
