Proposition 90 is a tax payers nightmare. Masked behind the thread of Eminent Domain, prop 90 will cost tax payers billions of dollars and stop all Planning Decisions across the state. Prop 90, if passed, would require local, county, regional and state governments to compensate land owners of the taken or damaged property “at its highest and best use without considering any future dedication requirements imposed by the government.” So image this, 500 acres of pristine ridgelines, hills, and valleys currently permitting medium density residential in this area which would allow for ±4 units (houses or individual properties) per acre of land (Note that in many cities, the number is higher, i.e. in Riverside, Medium Density can be as high at 6.9 du/ac). This would allow for the development of 2,000 houses. Now, assume that the citizens of this city or town oppose this type of development, and pass an initiative to reduce the number of houses or individual properties to 1 unit per acre. Now, the owner of the property can only build 500 homes. Under proposition 90, the city for which the initiative was passed by its citizens, now must compensate the land owner the value of 1,500 houses at market valley. Given today’s rate, that’s over $750,000,000 (or $750 Million) that the tax payers are not responsible for. Guess what, HIGHER TAXES! In 1974, the City of Riverside passed a measure similar to the one illustrated above, but it didn’t allow for 1 du/ac, it allowed for .5 du/ac, which would have resulted in a loss of $1,500,000,000 or $1.5 BILLION. The entire City budget is only $653,000,000. Which means that for 3 years, no road repair, sewer service, water service, electrical service, development, police protection, fire protection, parks, trash pickup, museums, public parking, street lights, traffic signals, code enforcement, or any other service that the city provides, Yet you will still be paying for it. Prop 90 is a trap hidden under the mask of Eminent Domain.
