If we don't have a problem with elderly renters getting priced out and not receiving a windfall (public concern for this issue is pretty muted) I don't see why homeowners getting priced out and receiving a windfall is worse.
I always found it deeply ironic that the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers foundation successfully lobbied for prop 13 on the "won't think of the pensioners homeowners" argument and then turned around and lobbied to slash pensions... yet their propaganda still carries weight today.
- rcpt 7y agoIf you read the stuff Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association puts out it's mostly "taxation is theft!!1" and starving the beast. I don't believe that people are still buying the whole thing about poor old grandma since it's very easy to make laws specific to them, cf. https://www.cga.ct.gov/2000/rpt/2000-R-0836.htm https://www.cga.ct.gov/2000/rpt/2000-R-0836.htm
