With the highest inflation rate in decades, the highest cost of gas in the nation, skyrocketing electricity rates, and new taxes constantly being proposed/enacted (which I have and always will oppose), is it any wonder why California is so expensive? The continual attacks on Prop. 13 are a danger to homeowners looking to stay in California. The fact that the State has a multi-billion budget surplus and REFUSES to return any of that money OR lower taxes is disgusting. The super majority needs a reality check.
