I guess you are not in California.

Interestingly California has a homestead exemption but it's a joke (capped at $70).

Oakland has a $7000 homestead exception. It actually just takes $7000 off the "value" of the property for taxation purposes.

Right, I live in Oakland. This is a state exemption. In other parts of the state it may be meaningful, but if you (like me) bought property in the Bay Area in the current millennium then it's insignificant.

Heck no! I don't make enough money to live there in a way I would enjoy.

Not since the 8th, though.

Is it because the Berkeley dudes ain't that hippy any more?
