How many people would no longer be able to afford to live in their home if prop 13 were to be repealed?

The bigger question to me is: would the housing market have gotten so ridiculously over-priced if the tax rates had not been capped in the first place?

If the housing market is so overpriced you should short it - CME has futures.

But my main point is that it seems unfair (for lack of a better word) to force someone to have to sell their home because it’s paper value has increased.
