Do you know who voted it in? It’s not an officeholder. The voters of California voted for it. You want it changed? Go get a proposition to repeal it into the ballot and get it approved by the voters.

It’s as simple as that.

It wasn’t designed this way. There was a complaint that elderly were being driven from their homes by high property taxes.

Whenever you hear someone bring up the "elderly being priced out" issue, please point out the property tax postponement program: https://sco.ca.gov/ardtax_prop_tax_postponement.html
