I grew up in the Chicagoland area. Every time the teachers' union went on strike, my parents' property taxes went up. This caused unending amounts of distress in my household, when the whole point of owning a home was to have a predictable cost of living over an extended period of time.

I have absolutely no issue with prop 13. It's way too fucking easy for state bureaucrats to just keep soaking property owners every time they fuck up a budget.
