I don't know what the solution is, but prop. 13 wasn't it.

Yes it was. Be careful what you wish for

California has the best property tax plan in the nation. Don't let it bother you that your parent's neghbors are paying more than them. There's no reason your parents house should be reassessed, unless there's a change in title..If you want to make it "fair" it would be your parents, not their neighbors on the losing side.

I would lose too. If I inherit, I get the same low, low rate, and If I leave the property to my kids, they get the low rate.

While I like the benefit, I can't help but notice that the tax burden gets passed on to someone else, not unlike tax evasion that results in higher rates over all - except, its legal.
