Which is why we also have things like a deferred property tax program! The way to "solve" the problems Prop 13 addresses would be to expand programs like that, but homeowners—disproportionately active middle- and upper-middle-class voters—want to have their cake and eat it too.

It wildly distorts the entire real estate market. Cool your home is worth 1.5 million. Your kids will never ever afford a home.

Without prop 13 that house would probably only be worth 600k. What difference does it make if it functions as a home.

Too late to fix it now.
