right. but its still limited to 1% of purchase price and only 2% raise each year. Whereas the other 49 states, reassess and raise taxes.

Prop 13 incentivizes not moving, and it only gets better the longer you dont move

I do think Prop 13 should only apply to a primary residence. FL has a homestead exemption, for example, that lowers the assessment and there's a cap on yearly increases.
