That’s a really low annual household income, particularly for California. But perhaps it's tweakable.

This is aimed at elderly people making a living from a pension, social security, etc. Not for people currently earning a full-time salary.

Yeah, but $35,000 from one's pension/401(k)/Social Security is still peanuts for California. That's got to be well below effective poverty level for someone living in San Francisco, LA or San Diego, even without rent.

Then we can talk about changing that limit. Several states have programs like this and they work just fine, eg. https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/ptr/

It's a totally different problem from prop 13.
