I'm not far from you in Rio Del Mar (Aptos) and we're surrounded by empty homes, many paying 1/20 what neighboring homes pay in property tax.
Cities and the County float sales tax proposals nearly every election cycle because we don't have the revenue we need to take care of basics like roads, schools, etc. Meanwhile, the uberwealthy enjoy their tax breaks.
