Most of the time property tax is more stable than income tax; unfortunately the bubble will be a double whammy for California. Prop-13 is just distorts who pays for what; new homeowners subsidize the older ones. In some neighborhoods the distortion can be as high as 10-1. This creates a disincentive to buy property in California, especially since renting is 1/2 the cost.
