"Can I finish, Mr. Jarvis?" "NO!!!" 🤣🤣🤣

The reason housing is so expensive is because homeowners wanted to prevent new development. As the population grew and demmand grew, supply couldn't keep up because these homeowners didn't want to allow the development that would ease the tax burden and housing costs, but they also didn't want to pay the cost of maintaining that exclusivity. In other words, they wanted to artificially distort the housing market through zoning, and then not actually bear the market cost of that choice.

"Education is not the most important thing in this country." That's part of our problem.

Wow, so enlightening. I didn't even know about Prop 13, but now I can say that I am mad as hell about it! That law is absolutely ridiculous the way it blatantly benefits corporate land holders. And lol, I was laughing so hard at Reagan, thinking he knows anything about the economy with the hindsight we have after the failure of "Reaganomics". But it's weird, reading these comments. Its like none of these people watched the same video that I just did. That's almost as interesting as the video itself to be honest. I don't get the aversion to public services and education.

And now it's the complete opposite because so many people are homeless in Los Angeles and San Diego and San Francisco

There should be low tax on residential property held by people with one home, and higher taxes on second homes and all commercial properties. That would provide a lot more money for schools without negatively affecting your average homeowner.

Thank God for Howard Jarvis and Proposition 13. Thank the Lord God! I remember the astounding residential property taxes which forced older retired people to be forced to sell their small properties. And now I am one of them. I bought this small house a long time ago and I can stay here, retired, and I am able to pay the property taxes as proscribed by Proposition13 - and they do go up 2 percent every year - like Clockwork. It never goes down. I am not some rich landowner with a large house. No, it is a small, single home that I have worked to pay for most of my Life and now own after all those years of work. I can hopefully stay here, un-molested by "the government.!"

I’m from CT, one of the highest taxed states in the US... painful. I have no problem paying taxes, I appreciate the importance of taxes. What I don’t appreciate is that we have no system by which to audit the spending of our taxes...the money doesn’t just appear, we work hard to earn it... but it certainly does just disappear. Once again, I have no problem with taxes, schools need funding, police and fire departments need funding, infrastructure requires funding, but while our taxes continue to increase our schools and infrastructure continue to fail. **side note-when Jarvis said, and I’m of course paraphrasing, “police and fire departments and education are not needed, only property ownership was important” I kinda chuckled. Ur right Jarvis, that plot of land is going to be worth a lot to those people when it goes up in flames and there is no fire department to help put them out. And that plot of land is going to be important when the owners leave it to children who can’t afford to live there or maintain it because they failed to get an education that could manifest a good career. 🤣 If people couldn’t tell back then that he was for big Corp and NOT for the little people...then the educational system was clearly already failing.

"Unless people put that money in a tin can and bury it in the backyard". Yeah Reagan, that's the problem. The people who complained about property taxes were exactly the people who wouldn't just save the money they weren't paying in taxes and not spend it on the economy

I miss bonanza restaurant..they had best buffet in A V. MN :) one of my favorites

582 billion dollars in untaxed dollars over 35 years...

does she.... know... what.. an octupus is????

You get what you paid or steal from. Got my very low prop taxes, but my kids are dumb as rocks.

This guy did SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much damage!

California has a $23 Billion budget surplus this year. So much for dire consequences from a tax cut over 40 years ago.

As someone who went through california schools in the 2000s and had to constantly hear about how they were amazing in the 70s and 80s, this makes me sad. Not to mention the 10x property taxes I pay compared to neighbors. The game is rigged folks.

i was unaware octopi eat houses

When land becomes more valuable, land taxes should go up, causing a more intense use. We need to compensate society for the land we own. After all, nature made the land as a blessing for all of us.

If it costs money, if it is an incumbent, or i don't understand it, I vote against it...Doesn't seem to slow down the sacramento pigs at the trough though..Sadly I look twice if the building trades, firefighters or teachers union support it.

IM MAD AS HELL! AND IM NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Time is running out for other humans!!?!??

Rememer in "Airplane!" there was the guy who was in the taxi the whole time? That was Howard Jarvis.

Oh, please. The government subsidises everything, even cowboy poetry festivals! It's not tax cuts that are the problem, it's the crazy and misdirected spending.

Humans gambled against each other!! 28

Public REVOLT!

I just learned what let's go Brandon met!! Oblivious but still don't understand what that has to do with the name and democrats

Actually in October 2022 modern day it literally destroys universe

If you’re watching this in 2020, vote NO on Prop 15!

God bless Howard Jarvis

Prop 13 helped seniors, and also ANYONE who bought a house. But now, Proposition 19 is what we need!!!!!! As a senior who lives in SF/Silicon Valley, where many young people want to buy, if Proposition 19 passes, I will be able to transfer the property taxes not only to the current counties in the program, but to any county in the state. That is very important to me. I have held on to my house until now because I could not transfer my property tax basis to certain other counties, such as Contra Costa, Mendocino, Monterey, Santa Barbara or others. This will help me move out so others can move into this prime job area. I hope Proposition 19 passes, and I wish you would all promote this more. Seniors and younger people who want great Bay Area jobs will both benefit so much!

Thank you Howard Jarvis. I saw you on TV when I was a kid and had no idea what you stood for. Now I know and I thank you for what you did. Rest in peace sir.

If the schools just need more money to do better then why do the charter schools that are broke as shit and let students in on a lottery system (not just the best students) consistently out perform public schools in the same district (even the same building in many cases) with even less funding per pupil?

9:50 "I am not an assessor" , yes, that is obvious, and why do we accept your numbers??
