Episode 341: Real Talk 2-21-2026

California Democrat Congress members are visiting their districts claiming that the high cost of housing, gas and electricity in California are all caused by Trump and Republicans. Meanwhile the California legislature is trying to devise ways and reasons to break Proposition 13. In Nashville Tennessee where there are no protections for property owners one owner made the news because his property tax is going up from $160,000 to $600,000 forcing him to sell his business. A San Francisco professor claims that Proposition 13 costs the state $43 billion a year in uncollected property taxes. He further notes that the longer you own a home in California the more disparate the property tax becomes, unfairly helping older white people to keep their homes. In most red states seniors get major property tax breaks. In California they are trying to figure out how to tax seniors and force them to sell their homes. We discuss all of this and more on this week's Real Talk. Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.
