The effect is the purpose. Everything else is marketing.

A city 15 minutes outside one of the richest cities in the entire world is closing down schools. Know why? The old people who live there and their landed gentry children who inherit their title (I mean ability to legally contribute no tax) from their elders don't pay any property tax, so the schools have no money, and anyone who moves in has to foot the entire bill. Only people who can do that put their kids in private schools. And on and on.

So, so many of the QoL issues people suffer in California are because of this prop, and people defend it with this senior folks exemption. I'm sorry. If you become a multimillionaire sitting on your bum, the government should not offload your tax burden onto other people's because you're old. It's too destructive to society to do that.
