yeah, as I was running, I was wondering if I'd misremembered.

Still, this does handle the supposed problem of aging Boomers being stuck in their houses because of Prop. 13.




"stuck" ? under Prop19, property tax on a paid-off 3-bedroom home in a wealthy area is less than rent in the ghetto. It has been that way for twenty years.


Please don't call me "dude."

Supposedly, Boomers in a paid off house in a wealthy area were dissuaded from moving, because their property taxes would skyrocket. Unless they moved to a county that accepted the Prop 13 swap for over-55's, which not all counties did.

Now that is eliminated. Dude.
