Agreed, it's a balance. I think replacing prop 13 with taxes deferable until sale would be a good step in the right direction.

The existing lock in effect of 13 would be orders of magnitude stronger. Nobody would ever sell and prices would skyrocket.

Huh? Eventually the current owners will die

[rcpt]

Yes but there are places in the world where the house you buy when you're 30 isn't the one with your deathbed.

Ideally living people will move out and make room for the next generation when they no longer have use for 4 bedrooms in a good school district close to jobs.

Are you satisfied with the status quo in California, or do you think we can do better?

[rcpt]

Obviously we can do better. And the best way to go about it is to end Prop 13 in it's entirety immediately.

[gkop]

Great. So to get that rolling, split roll obviously was a great first step, that unfortunately failed. But we should try again.

Beyond split roll, do you have ideas to 1) protect people that would be harmed by an immediate rollback of 13 and 2) build the political coalition to get it done?
