I think you were the one arguing what taxes "should be."
Property taxes in Cali are so far below what they should be...
Should be being taxes based on value, you can play semantics but the meaning was quite clear. You lock down taxes below the rate of inflation then gripe that they don’t go down? hahahah, for decades now Property taxes have been locked at 2% increases a year in Cali, while Home prices were jumping 20-40% a year.. guess what? That means your house can drop a hell of a lot before the 2% increase will catch up to be what it should be for your home, even as its value declines.
Again, you cannot artificially create price controls, whether you are voter or a government bureaucrat, the same result happens either way. The availability or quality or both of the product/service attempting to drops.. in this case Cali public schools.
