Prop 13 was actually intended to make Howard Jarvis and his friends at the Apartment Owners Association even wealthier. He did a great job of selling a tax scam to the public. A property tax law designed to benefit low income families would only have lowered property taxes for primary residences, not for places like the Los Angeles Country Club that pays $200k a year in property taxes on 313 acres of prime land.

Prop 13 opponents always sound unhinged.

Curious what you find unhinged about my comment.

“Jarvis was a lobbyist for the Los Angeles Apartment Owners Association—a group that stood to benefit hugely from decreased property taxes.”

Nah it was sold as keeping granny in her home, but the intent was to destroy government.

Mind backing that up?

Howard Jarvis, the author of Prop 13, was a well known anti-government lunatic.
