selling my grampa's/family's beloved 3-season-access (generously putting it, unfixable at any cost) tiny cabin on a lake because of property taxes was one of the saddest things i've ever done. i had the money to buy it off my uncles, wanted to. but property taxes were >10x what they were when i was born, would have been a huge drain.
i'm generally kind of pro-taxation? property taxes though are vicious. they seem to just spiral up and up. i can understand how California has lived under 1978 Proposition 13 for so long- barely touching existing property taxes, while screwing over everyone who comes latter. it's cruel & callous to allow such a huge & growing burden to arise while not asking those already established to bear a reasonably fair share.
