4. I disagree. People were losing their homes because the property taxes were too high. If the state

needs revenue there are a lot of ways to to it including increasing state income tax, gasoline, sales tax.

Arnie helped make the situation in the state worse by reducing the registration fees.

and of course we had the faux energy crisis created by enron and the republicans which really helped us over the edge

With the housing crisis the way it is, getting rid of prop 13 would even make things worse
