In search of a time machine
If you had a time machine, would you rather visit the future or the past?On Tuesday, voters will decide whether people in the future, possibly including themselves, will be forced to sell their homes because property taxes are skyrocketing year after year, despite Proposition 13.
And L.A. County voters will decide whether more than a billion dollars in extra sales taxes will be taken from their pockets and given to non-governmental organizations, every year, to continue their costly but failing work on the problem of homelessness. Proposition 33 would take away a law that protects property owners, including individuals who own a house or condo that they rent out. The 1995 Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act says cities may not impose rent control on these single-unit rentals or enact other types of unreasonable rent control.
Proposition 6 would change the provision in the state constitution that bans involuntary servitude except to punish crime. Prop. 6 removes the exception, which means inmates could not be required to work . Removing the exception also removes the basis for court decisions that said inmates were not “employees” and were not entitled to be paid minimum wage.
