I don’t know what you were saying there, the market will decide what, that people have to surrender their homes or decide what taxes you should pay on your home of 50 years? What was the part about poor people and taxes, this is about the government taxing people’s homes not income taxes. Prop 13 was a result of successful work to end over-taxation resulting in old people having their homes taken, but you want it overturned.

Why should the government be able to tax you out of your home because people start liking your area?

It sounds like you want homes taken and apportioned by government policy.

I don’t like taxes. I think governments should do no more than necessary and keep tax rates low. But I also don’t think that governments should give favorable tax rates to one person over another. There is no reason why two homes next door to each other, with a similar market value should be taxed at vastly different rates. That is unjust and a distortion of the market. It the opposite of government deciding who should live where.
