California is sort of a virus. With Prop 13, it artificially keeps inventory down and drives prices up, only to have people sell off and move to other cheaper states bringing their dumbass politics with them. Someone needs to eradicate the virus.

Prop 13When my cousin Margaret Davies visited my mother in 1991, she talked about how if it hadn't been for Prop 13, she and her husband Bent, who had married in 1951, would have seen their taxes increase from $1,500 to $7,500 on their home at 1923 Mount Shasta Dr. in San Pedro. Haven't heard from them in over 20 years, don't know if they're still living, Margaret would be 92, but that home sold for $570,000 on 8/22, which sounds like a fairly reasonable price for California. Have no idea how long they lived there, but whatever the good or bad of Prop 13, they shouldn't have had to lose their home in the late 70's.
