Compared to California, most states depend less on income taxes and more on property taxes, which is part of the reason why property prices are higher in California.

I think California would have higher property taxes if they hadn't implemented prop 13 back in the 80s. Really messed up the state tax dynamics imho. Policy started from a good place but ended up with weird ripple effects.

Indeed. Proposition 13 was a monkey wrench.

Your math is a little off, it was 1978.
