Re: the last item, is a small shack is going to pay the same $50 surcharge that Apple pays for its corporate campus or a 500 unit apartment building?
California can solve all its budget woes by abolishing its corporate, state, and property taxes and switching to a universal sales tax of 15%.
It's $50 per parcel. So I would guess no. The house I bought is on 2 parcels, though they are officially joined as one and if I wanted to separate them it would cost me tens of thousands of dollars in fees and surveying etc. I bet they'll try to sock me for $100 if this passes.
