Until you have an alternative to people on fixed income being forced to move from the homes they own because they literally were priced out of the neighborhood, I will defend Prop 13 with words, money and actions. You will never convince me or people like me that it’s okay that my family buying a house in the neighborhood should by itself force our neighbors to have their costs go up. Not only do I not want that, you’d find it also wouldn’t lead to very good relationships.

Prop 13 was not created in a vacuum, it exists to solve a very real problem. And don’t forget, the young people that mostly don’t feel this problem don’t vote nearly as much as the older people for whom this problem is most keenly evident.
