As a life-long California resident, I’d appreciate it if you would use the correct terminology

Prop. 13 will be — pick your favorite

“right-sized”

“fine-tuned”

“made a living, breathing amendment”

“made compassionate”

and of course, my personal favorite

“made fair”

I own two houses, one in San Jose (personal residence) and one in San Francisco (investment home)

Likely will sell both and move to Arizona or Nevada, perhaps within two years. I will miss the Pacific Ocean, but oh well !

Only two things that will keep my wife and me here:
1. Prop. 13 staying untouched
2. The (now in their early 20s) kids
3. Wife’s family

But with the lower costs, living in Las Vegas or Phoenix, hey, the Bay Area would be only a long drive or a short plane ride away

Looks like 3 things to me.

1. Prop 13 staying untouched.
2. Grown children and grandkids in this area. If California becomes hostile to business owners, one adult child is ready to move. Texas, Oklahoma, Idaho have been after him to move.

I could see summers in Idaho and winters in Arizona.

Too bad Mexico is so dangerous to live in now. Cabo would have been nice for our winter months.

Don’t move to Vegas, it’s ridiculously hot, and a mini-California. Reno is much better. And the ocean is nice to visit once in a while, but the desert can be endlessly explored, you would be stunned how many incredible places there are to be found.
