This is exactly the scenario prop 13 was designed to create.

> decline in property tax revenue

Wait property tax is a percentage of assessed value - not a fixed amount. Property tax revenue has increased pretty reliably since 1978.

The cost of provisioning public services depends on the cost of paying workers to live here, which has done a lot more than "increased pretty reliably."

Unless the property is sold, Prop 13 caps the increase at no more than 2% annually. So if you have owned a home for more than 10 years, the tax basis is probably way lower than market value -- particularly in a place like Marin County.

California has the highest tax revenue in the union; both per capita and gross. Tax revenue is not an issue in California.
