[[File:Kim-Mai Cutler on Twitter EMP.jpg|thumb|right|400px|it's cookin' on Twittah]]In the Bay Area and California, like other high-growth regions around the world, there have been dramatic rises in property values in recent decades. Additionally, in California, the [[Proposition_13|Proposition 13]] tax-limitation measure of 1978 means that there are sometimes large disparities in the effective tax rate payed by property owners, with those owning for longer paying lower taxes. |
