Definitely not the Boomers that did Prop 13. Prop 13 was passed in 1978, when the oldest boomers were 32 and the youngest 14. Not many owned houses then.

This was passed by voters of earlier generations. Look at the two leaders of the movement, Howard Jarvis (born 1903) and Paul Gann (born 1912).

Most Boomers were opposed to it b/c they could easily foresee the cuts to social services and education that were coming.

If zoning and construction were sane I think something like prop13 would be a good thing. Nobody should be forced out of a home they could otherwise afford just because the taxes went up.

There are more specific ways to deal with that issue besides prop 13 though, like homestead exemptions.
