The Prop 13 problem is easy to solve technically, if you see the problem as described in this piece... but that's not the problem that needs to be solved. The real problem is California's referendum system that allows such populist lunacy to pass at all.

I'm not sure what you're proposing, but my own preference (as a California voter) would be for initiative constitutional amendments to require a 60% supermajority. Initiative statutes, which can be modified after passage by the legislature, I'm still fine with passing on a bare majority.

Unfortunately, Prop 13 passed with 62% :(
