California's Prop 13 is no stranger to flak, especially whenever the state finds itself out of cash, which is apparently always. The decades-old proposition capped real estate taxes at 1 percent of the property's cash value, never to go up by more than 2 percent— but they may actually go lower next year for the first time ever. Blame/thank deflation if you must blame/thank anyone, but it's tough times all around for everyone anyway, isn't it? [SF Business Times]
