"Recall Prop. 13? It put a limit on the amount property taxes could be increased each year"
Say that to someone living in California, as I have, and see what kind of response you get. When you say it, be sure there are no sharp or heavy objects nearby.
My very point:
they're paying property taxes on an inflated amount.
When the housing prices fall, the taxes will remain as
they are: HIGH!
I live in California and I know of few people that hate prop. 13 (other than a few liberals).
That's recall as in "remember".
