Under Calif Proposition 13, my houses maintain an artificially lower tax rate than what the state finds profitable. Were I to be paid fair market rate for my house, purchase a comparable house at asking price, and convince the state to pay for the closing costs and moving expenses, I would still need to deal with a rather dramatic increase in property taxes on the new house. Frankly, I could not afford to buy my own house or one of equal value. To the participating government, eliminating urban blight really means raising property tax revenues. I suspect there's going to be considerable urban blight newly discovered in old and high priced, but low taxed, neighborhoods. Think revenue enhancement. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831.336.2558 voice http://www.LearnByDestroying.com # jeffl@comix.santa-cruz.ca.us # jeffl@cruzio.com AE6KS
