Total agreement here. Prop 13 is outright generational theft from younger people by older generations.

It's actually theft by corporate (or family chain) long-term property owners from everybody else; it doesn't favor individuals of particular ages (especially since the parent-child residence exception was adopted.)


I wasn't alive long enough ago to buy affordable housing in san francisco. How does that not favor older people than me?


It disfavors people who choose to live somewhere other than a home they (or their parents before them) have lived for a long time, but it disfavors old people who choose to move just as much as young people who do so.
