Who cares if they're taxed at the max tax rate? One of the main effects of repealing Prop 13 would be to start actually collecting taxes. I don't think that the fact that people who are forced out (because they can't pay their yearly taxes) now have to pay taxes, which they CAN pay because they're now liquid, something we should be concerned about after making the decision to repeal Prop 13?
Old people get a lot of protections. Protections they put in place themselves. Prop 13 is one of those protections. Perpetuating it just means that the protections will never go away. Maybe they can just move in with their children - the ones that are apparently a driving factor of why they can't leave the region.
