We Could End Up Looking Like Phoenix

In my neighborhood (Mission Hills) it is mainly people who have bought homes in the past few years who are interested in historical designation. If you think about the taxes you can understand why. It is a big deal if you bought a house for $1 million and you can drop your property tax from $12k to $3k. That's what people are doing. People who have lived in the neighborhood for 10+ years already pay low property taxes thanks to Prop 13. They have little interest in historical designation.
