Well, generally and relatively speaking, because of Proposition 13, no.
However, people who weren't "grandfathered in" do pay slightly higher
taxes. (We pay about 11% of the assessed value. It's definitely higher
than what we paid in Boston, 'tho.)
And, state income tax is fairly high, too, actually; so is the sales tax
for our county.
