Join host Ellina Yin in conversation with the retired Deputy Assessor David Ginsborg to demystify how property taxes work—who determines property values, where those tax dollars go, and how assessments shape our local economy and public services. From understanding Prop 13 to uncovering how schools, cities, and counties share the revenue, this episode breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of local government and why it matters for every resident, renter, and homeowner in Santa Clara County. 

Guest Bio: In 2021, David K. Ginsborg retired from nearly 30 years in government service which included serving as one of the youngest Chiefs of Staff for then Congressman Bob Filner; Policy Director for Supervisor Ron Gonzales; and most recently for nearly 25 years for Assessor Larry Stone as his Deputy Assessor. Previously he also worked in commercial real estate in southern California.

From a career serving the public in government to now pursuing his Avodah[1], David Ginsborg took a leap of faith to “start over” in an entirely new field. Upon retiring David sought out a more values based new chapter as the Executive Director of the Jewish Community Center of Santa Cruz and Temple Beth El, a reform congregation. David has a Masters in Management from GSPM, which is now part of George Washington University and a Bachelor's degree from U.C. Berkeley.[1] In Hebrew, the word Avodah has been interpreted to mean work, service, prayer or labor. The closest english equivalent is avocation.
