50-50 odds the next governor, will end Prop 13.
And even that won’t help.
As a San Diego resident, I am not as pessimistic as you.
The consequences of ending Prop 13 will be a continued lowering of housing prices and will tick off everyone.
I know a lot of Democrats (the type who think that Gore won in 2000) who voted for Arnold because while they didn’t necessarily want to vote for a Republican, they know that state politics is nutty and that Dems like Gray Davis were out of control.
So I have to hope the Dems in California are currently at their zenith, the zenith of their power and their lunacy. So it can only get better.
It will if Arnold finally succeeds in getting an independent commission to draw legislative lines.
