"It takes taxes for our local governments to provide services. When I bought houses, I expected to pay the same as others who bought. Proposition 19, as written, gives a generous $1 million break to children of parents who owned houses. If we increase the assessment break for the survivors, taxes for the rest of us, including struggling first-time buyers, will be higher, or services will be less. I'd leave Proposition 19 as is."
"This is not even to mention that all the strikes, not just that second one, are not just war crimes but premeditated murder. Murdering civilians, intentionally, is clearly a war crime. The Trump regime's false conflation of a metaphorical drug war with a real war does not make it so, any more than the alternative facts of a rigged election in 2020 or the biggest crowds ever for Trump's inauguration or climate change being a hoax or a thousand other lies are true."
Proposition 19 currently provides up to a $1 million assessment break for children inheriting homes from their parents. Increasing that assessment break for survivors would raise taxes for other homeowners and struggling first-time buyers or require cuts to local services. Follow-up strikes on boats designated as carrying drugs are characterized as war crimes and described as premeditated murder when civilians are intentionally killed. The conflation of a metaphorical drug war with an actual war is rejected, and false claims and alternative facts are called out as untrue. Complaints also appear about negative newspaper tone toward the president and repeated caricatures.
