The property taxes in Texas are outrageous. I've been looking and would never move there because of that.

I live in one of the plaintiff Charter Cities. As long as my property taxes remain under Proposition 13 (19), I may stay put. I haven't found anywhere else with the benefit of $1300 annual property taxes. Not even close.

You are benefiting from Prop 13 as without it, your taxes would be significantly higher and I dare say higher than Texas. Your local government is not spending much less than it would without Prop 13, it is just passing on those costs to property owners not covered by Prop 13.
