That's such a good idea that tech companies already agree with you and have done precisely that. You might look at Mountain View for an example of tech companies lobbying for more housing in action.


It's a good start that should've been pursued earlier the past decade, but really they should dream bigger and band together to take on Prop 13. They alone have the money to do so.


In theory I agree that prop 13 is a plague.

At the same time, I can think of few things with worse optics than big, fat, cash-rich tech companies full of big, fat, rich techies banding together to raise taxes on regular homeowners.


I think it's arguably worse optics that white landowning families get preferential treatment under tax law at the expense of minorities.

Prop 13 is possibly illegal: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3012949
