> It's gotten to the point that we have ballot amendments carving out exceptions for senior citizens, so they can take their old property tax rates with them when they buy new homes, but only if they move between certain counties that have a reciprocity agreement, blah blah blah. Clearly not the kind of policy a sane system would result in.

And there is another ballot prop on this years' ballot (prop 19) being pushed by the Realtors' Assc. to expand the '86 law to include all properties within the state, rather than just county, and to cover up to 3 moves instead of 1.

That’s a scam like most of the other propositions. Most of this year’s propositions are poison laced candy. They offer you one thing and take away something far more valuable.

Go read the whole proposition. They supposedly let you do it 3 times. That is the candy. Too bad many counties already let you do it once. So you haven’t gained much if anything. The poison is transfer to children resets the property tax for anything over a million. Now read each proposition and find the candy and then find the poison.
