Quote: "I don't understand where you are coming from on this. Who is 'trashing' your State?
I thought the crux of the discussion was about if it is fair for one homeowner to get a break on his property tax compared to his neighbor in a similar home. I'd make the argument that it isn't fair, regardless of the location."
I was speaking to the general theme of the discussion: "What Will Become of California?" Prop. 13 is one issue of many. During the real estate bubble, there were people who paid higher property taxes. However, they purchased at the top. I am too fiscally conservative to buy a home I can't afford. It would be very scary to pay the prices that real estate was commanding pre-2007. Now, people are able to buy at lower prices - thus, lower property taxes. Many others have had their property taxes re-assessed to reflect the lower prices.
Regarding "trashing my state," I did not say anyone is trashing my state. I said that I don't trash other states. Only you know whether you hold negative thoughts toward California or any other state. I can, however, say that I don't trash other states, because I am not there and I would not know what I am talking about.
