A lot of this also comes down to prohibiting growth. In Seattle, every time we build a new building, everyone else's property tax payments decrease. High growth years lead to lower bills. The same would work in California, they just don't build much of anything because they've made it nearly impossible to.
You're not wrong, but the irony of positioning Seattle as having good zoning policies is almost unbearable.
Oh, I'm with you. I think this needs to be overturned wholesale. Seattle is bad. Still better than California.
