Dowell Myers, Professor of Urban Planning and Demography at the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development will lead a discussion on this and more during a luncheon on Wednesday in Sacramento (click here for details).
Dramatic increases in house prices in the 1970s drove shocking increases in property taxes, and the innovation of Proposition 13 was a much needed solution.
Today the 40 percent decline in house prices has removed the underpinnings that made Proposition 13 work.
A lot has also changed in 31 years, and it is time to look at the new demographics of Proposition 13, how those are tied to trends in house values and tax assessments, and what is the outlook going forward.
