California has the California Tax Postponement Program which predates Prop 13 and specifically protects poor old grandma. Prop 13 wasn't passed as a law to help the unfortunate. It was anti tax hatred of the government. Jarvis wanted a "tax revolt" which is why all property in the state, even oil fields and golf courses, gets the tax break.

  Exactly. And now it will be nearly impossible to remove.

  Jarvis was pretty upfront that he was "mad as hell" and wanted a "tax revolt". Today yeah the marketing is 100% that it's a welfare program for seniors.
