One of the cuts was to public school budgets, including buses - there was no school bus for anyone living within 2 miles of the school. Of course there was another uproar. I cracked up when I saw a woman interviewed on local news, with her GWB lawn sign and 2 SUVs in her driveway, complaining about having to drive her kids to school.

Would you please present the math on that 24 year claim you made? I might not live in Chicago, but even in the face of increasing property taxes in my area this doesn't sound mathematically plausible

Yes!

@FriskyDingo True enough, if there's one thing politicians don't ever want to do is to cut their revenue sources. Everyone gives crap to California for prop 13, but the reality is that it has largely saved homeowners from multiple explosions in the real estate market. Sure people who buy new into the insane market end up paying relatively large property taxes (or the renters do when the cost is passed on) but someone who owned their home for a while won't all of a sudden be priced out of living there because their 1200 sqft house is valued at over 1.3M (not speaking from experience or anything...)

Screw you, what about people who can't afford a home because it's supposedly gone up in value? You're only thinking about yourself a-hole.

It should absolutely be tied to the value of the home because the homeowner can "double dip" by sitting on a GROWING Gold Mine while not paying the taxation for it. A more pragmatic solution should be allowing the homeowner to make a choice that if they don't want property tax tied to the value of their home, then they should not benefit from increased home values. This is what public housing does. Public housing will sell you a home below market value but then not allow you to resell it based on market value. Hence keeping it "affordable"

But you like give everyone free stuf

Property taxes don't work this way anywhere else in the country (that I know of) so I wouldn't worry too much. In sane cities, as long as there's no change in ownership, there's an annual cap on tax increases (around 2%) so even if your valuation goes up 30% one year, your taxes will only increase 2%. Your tax rate also has nothing to do with "the pie" and how many people appeal, which is the most asinine thing I've ever heard. Homeowners there basically have an uncapped variable tax rate, while I guess businesses have a fixed rate since apparently they pay less tax when their valuation goes down, *unlike homeowners who pay more as a result while their valuation barely changes. It's madness.

CA does everything wrong.. here’s the perverse consequences of a patchy prop 13: 1) to compensate for lower property taxes, govt artificially inflated home prices by creating home scarcity - by dramatically restricting new home building permits. New permits costs match or exceed the material cost to building the home itself, and can take 2-4 years to be granted.. ridiculous. 2) No one can move to a more suitable home. Moving means a dramatic increase in property taxes, so no one moves and new homebuyers are shut out or forced to pay exorbitant prices. The cost of home ownership entry in CA is higher than any other state by far, almost double anywhere else. 3) prop 13 is generational, and will eventually be repealed because those beneficiaries are dying off, and new home owners are getting killed… in the meantime, the high property taxes will go even higher and home prices will still be out of control. Solutions: 1) compute property taxes on a combination of assessed value and the city’s fixed costs of maintenance. 2) cap property taxes increases to a fraction of inflation. 3) cap property taxes to never exceed 1% of current assessed value, with assessments occurring no more than every 3-5 years. 4) stamp out public sector unions - they’re ultimately the driver of all these public sector lavish increases. 5) transparency, manifest with a voter mandated approval of any new tax, and salary for city managers and county assessors. 6) this will solve the CA housing crisis: remove permit restrictions, exorbitant fees and grant permits within 30-60 days.

@@sheldoninst "2) No one can move to a more suitable home. Moving means a dramatic increase in property taxes, so no one moves and new homebuyers are shut out or forced to pay exorbitant prices." I don't disagree with a lot of what you wrote, but this is totally not true in CA. Since 1986 there has been Proposition 60, and more recently the revised rules in Proposition 19, that make it possible for people 55 and older to move to a new home and transfer their old tax base. This allows people to downsize but not necessarily make a big jump up in property tax payments.

Yep. If that happens, a ton of people will be wiped out. Rich people and corporations will take over and foreign investors since we allow that.

@@sweepingdenver Prop 13 is a great deal for people who bought home in the 80s. They pay peanuts in taxes but get the same benefits as the new owner next door who pays 4x the amount. And tax assessments are readily voted in which are based on your tax basis, hitting late buyers much harder. People who bought after 2000 can't afford to stay in their homes after retirement. It makes for a very uneven standard of living. Also if you renovate your home, it should be revalued at market price but the early buyers I know just renovate "quietly" or live in a run down house. Taking your old tax base when you move is a great help but only for people who bought decades ago. However given the venal nature of the politicians, if Prop 13 is shot down, they will just raise taxes on the early birds and spend more.

@@sheldoninst great post. Helps here in San Diego. One disagreement. Prop 13 was a step in the right direction.The bad policy decisions of politicians who later decided to compensate for that PERCIEVED loss in tax collections. Should have cut spending. We shouldn't feel guilty for lessening our tax burden because some asshole wants to spend more. That is on them, not us. I certainly do not vote for them! You got "generarional policys" correct. Governor Reagan's property taxes recently changed. If you owned property prior to 1985 i believe, your property taxes froze. Now the home must be your principal residence to qualify. My mother got grandfathered in. She pays about $600 a year in property taxes in a home built in the late 40s at san diego. Meanwhile, my friends and family pay north of $6k. Rediculous.

Bobby Chang, never underestimate a corrupt politician's ability to concoct an "illegal" tax and make it a law. Taxation of owned property is illegal and property taxes are one of the biggest scams in the history of America. I recently sold a $300,000.00 home and was only paying $2000.00 a year in property taxes. I bought another home for $220,000.00 and was shocked to receive a winter tax bill for over $2400.00. Just imagine all the money cities and townships are receiving from the transfer tax on all the millions of homes sold in addition to the higher property taxes. My transfer tax was $2500.00, and the previous owners of my house were paying around $2200.00 a year in property taxes, which have doubled since I bought the house. The illegal taxing process is greater than what Bernie Madoff pulled off. He was sent to prison and so should the corrupt, bureaucratic thieves be locked up.
