1) these people hit a huge jackpot I don't care to "protect" them at all. We already have the CA tax postponment program for low income seniors anyway. 2) no. As long as California is a direct democracy the law will stay. Even Prop 15 failed so any chance of reform through the existing process is doomed. Justice Stevens echos this point here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/90-1912.ZD.html I suppose that maybe with billions of lobbying and ad spend we could Prop 22 a repeal through but even then I doubt it. The only way I see it happening is if the courts strike it down as unconstitutional. Equal protection is applied stronger on issues of race and Nordlinger v Hahn didn't address that. We now can see real data that Prop 13 systemically hurts minorities and I believe another challenge is warranted. Edit: actually should have talked about "disparate impact" instead in that last part. |
