Prop sign

Please vote YES on Proposition 5 & NO on Proposition 10

Hi California friends,

Propositions 5 & 10 are two really important propositions on the ballot this November.

Please vote YES on 5 & NO on 10.

More details on both propositions are at the California Association of Realtors website.

Please let me know if you’d like a yard sign.

Highlights of Prop 10:

1. Proposition 10 will eliminate homeowner protections
2.Proposition 10 will increase the cost of existing housing
3. Proposition 10 will reduce availability of affordable and middle-class housing.

Prop 5 Highlights:

1. The Property Tax Fairness Initiative eliminates the moving penalty to protect seniors (55+) and severely disabled people who want to move to safer, more practical homes or closer to their families. This initiative limits the property tax penalties they could face if they purchase another home in any county of the state while still ensuring they pay their fair share of property taxes.

2. Expand aid to disaster victims:  Under this initiative, a homeowner in a disaster area, whose home is destroyed, would be able to move anywhere in the state without paying the moving tax penalty.

This is a really good podcast with additional details on both propositions.

Please reach out if I can answer any questions.
