Don't blame Prop 13 for the diaster that California Schools have become. Millions of Californians could not afford to pay what the property taxes would be without Prop 13. It largely protects the old folks from having to sell their homes because of property tax increases. When Prop 13 was passed people on the average moved every 5 years or so, the property tax increasing to current market values when the property was sold.
