boomers have benefited from everyone paying their taxes and now want to opt out of contributing to the community. Even though boomers overwhelmingly benefit from prop 13, with lower taxes than many in the community - now they want to not contribute, while collecting social security and medicare.

It's already difficult enough for people under 40 to buy a home. and out of reach for many of us. schools are already underfunded and dependent on property taxes to fund schools. this ballot proposal is the wrong way to help Californians.

Yep. This is like a reverse wealth tax. Such an incredibly stupid idea. Boomers still running too much of this country.
