Yeah, we kicked the poors out of the cities. Let's kick the elders out of the cities as well.

It’s weird how millionaires are the evil outsider enemy, but old people living in the million-dollar houses they own are sympathetic.

Maybe the progressive tax scheme will one day switch from an income-based gradient, to a function of both income and age.

Okay, how about as a first step we eliminate prop 13 only for 'new' houses, say bought after 2015 and also eliminate it for houses that change hands via estate transfer?
