Isn’t Prop 13 an enormous issue (with real estate owners not paying taxes on the true value of their property) in California?

Prop 13 basically just limits increases in taxes from purchase time. So it benefits existing land owners at the expense of future land owners.

And it also benefits speculators - makes it cheaper to hold onto property for longer.
