The people leaving California likely didn't luck into the prop 13 handout and are mad as hell about it which would explain why they are voting for higher property taxes.

Personally, after living here for a decade, I've seen how much damage that stupid law has done to our public services and housing market and wish for nothing more than Copenhagen-style land taxation applied across the state.

Yeah, land value taxes are loved by economists. But opposed by voters because the voters own land. shrug
