Ironically, this situation has probably accelerated California's decline as senior citizens are effectively trapped in their homes because prospective buyers of their homes would face a huge tax increase under the reassessment.

Are you serious? Trapped in their homes? Have you ever lived in CA or do you now and know anything about this?

Anyone buying their home would not be assessed for the property taxes they saved under Prop 13. Prop 13 saved many elderly people from losing the homes they owned for many years and many of those elderly lived there until they passed on.
