Right. And don&#x27;t forget -- Senior Citizens exempt themselves from parcel taxes and renters don&#x27;t usually see these reflected in rent increases. So you have a majority with little to lose by voting to tax &quot;other&quot; people.<p>I&#x27;m always amazed how the techno-libertarians on yc-hews go full communist when it comes to Prop 13 and the right to own property! And exempting seniors from this taking has a racist element--keep the existing white people from being taxed, but tax the younger people who are moving in.
