otoh never feeling pressure to move despite economic growth hugely favors long time landowning families (read: white people) and locks out newcomers from needed economic opportunities.
Prop 13 disparately impacts minorities, arguably to the point where it's illegal under the fair housing act [1], and imo the racism angle could win out in a marketing campaign in today's climate.

- kingsuper20 6y ago"Prop 13 disparately impacts minorities" Well, that's sort of a stretch. I expect to the extent that's true, it's because the state was a lot whiter in 1978, although scarcely any people have owned a house for 42 years. Makes for a good headline though. Just imagine the papers you could write showing racial disparities for any metric involving age as I would think that older trends whiter in California.
- rcpt 6y agoIt's not a stretch. If you don't want to read the paper here's evidence in tweet form https://twitter.com/alfred_twu/status/1327821019931787264?s=21 https://twitter.com/alfred_twu/status/1327821019931787264?s=... And disparate impact rulings don't matter the intent of the law -- that's what the 14th amendment is for -- even though the law was pitched as a way to assist the old if it's hitting minorities harder the fair housing act still applies.
