The longer the straight of Hormuz is closed the more people in third world countries will starve. It is not just the oil. It is the fertilizer. Government does not solve problems. Solving a problem means there is no need for the bureaucracy that was tasked with solving it. That is why government continues to create regulation that only they can interpret. The current uncertainty in the Middle East is causing interest rates to rise. We discuss all of this and more on this week’s Real Talk. Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.

California Democrat Congress members are visiting their districts claiming that the high cost of housing, gas and electricity in California are all caused by Trump and Republicans. Meanwhile the California legislature is trying to devise ways and reasons to break Proposition 13. In Nashville Tennessee where there are no protections for property owners one owner made the news because his property tax is going up from $160,000 to $600,000 forcing him to sell his business. A San Francisco professor claims that Proposition 13 costs the state $43 billion a year in uncollected property taxes. He further notes that the longer you own a home in California the more disparate the property tax becomes, unfairly helping older white people to keep their homes. In most red states seniors get major property tax breaks. In California they are trying to figure out how to tax seniors and force them to sell their homes.

The Trump administration is removing carbon dioxide from the list of pollutants as designated by the Obama EPA. CO2 is the gas of life. We exhale it and plants need it to grow.

Our schools and roads are near the bottom of every measure of achievement and our Governor is going around the country bragging about his abilities to lead. There is an election coming. Will California start to turn the pendulum back or double down on stupid. We discuss all of this and more on this week’s Real Talk. Real Talk is the Right Side of Real Estate.
