<p>The crazy thing about Prop 13 is that it creates a big disincentive to move. Once our DD goes to college we would naturally think of downsizing, but since we have lived in the same house for 21 years, if we sold and moved to a smaller house, we would pay far more for the property taxes on the smaller house.</p>
