I’m not sympathetic to tax dodgers that set up a pyramid scheme (prop 13) that I (as a California homeowner of working age) am a victim of.

The hypothetical person in your example must be making way under local poverty level income to have trouble living in SF without housing and tax expenses.

They could get a job, or move out and extract rent from a techie.

From my perspective, they are sitting on a winning lottery ticket and whining about how they don’t want to spend it, but want all the other benefits.
