Proposition 13 doesn't mean that cities have to get most of their revenue from businesses. They could trim the budget. I think that was the intent of Proposition 13. Obviously, a direct prohibition on city budget increases would have worked better. With residents not feeling the sting of increased costs, they will of course vote for local politicians who spend money without hesitation.
