In this episode, we dig into AB238, the so-called mortgage relief bill — but is it truly relief, or just another setup for long-term displacement? We also explore how this bill connects directly to property taxes and AB782, and the larger web of legislation reshaping Altadena, often without any community input. 

We ask:

 👉 Will property taxes be based on cash value or square footage?
👉 Why are we being told one thing but seeing nothing in writing?
👉 Who benefits when our property values — and taxes — quietly go up?

One thing is clear: the incentives align to drive property values and taxes up across the board, and Altadena deserves answers.

We invite LA County Tax Assessor Jeff Prang on a future episode to address these concerns directly and help shed light on how these changes could affect homeowners in Altadena and across LA County.
