California got it wrong?
I would not say California got it right. We pay $10,000 on our house there which we bought in 2009. My sister, having lived there since 1962 is paying $1,500 in taxes. Not a shabby house either. Elderly woman across the street pays $800 in taxes and her son and grandson live there also. So, when she passes her son will also be paying $800 in taxes. Nothing like screwing anyone new to the state. Might be good if there were an equitable tax. Offer an abatement for elderly and possibly disabled persons to keep them in their homes. Wouldn't it be something if there were a fire or medical emergency at my sisters house and since the tax is so low, the help wouldn't be able to
arrive .
