Prop 13 was actually intended to make Howard Jarvis and his friends at the Apartment Owners Association even wealthier. He did a great job of selling a tax scam to the public. A property tax law designed to benefit low income families would only have lowered property taxes for primary residences, not for places like the Los Angeles Country Club that pays $200k a year in property taxes on 313 acres of prime land.
