When a developer wanted to build a 5 story condo building on an entire block across the street from the SF property I've owned for the last ten years, many of my neighbors opposed it. I wrote to our building's ownership and told them that we should support that project and that my only question was "can they add a few floors?"

Repeal prop 13 and my taxes will go up enormously--and I'll vote for that repeal at any opportunity.

Some of us do actually believe that the long term common good is worth sacrificing our own personal short term gain.
