147. There are two ways, both of which are highly unlikely:
1. CA Voters can wake up and eduate themselves and vote it down with another referendum.

This will never happen because who in their right mind would voluntarily raise their property taxes even though in the long run it would drive down housing prices and multi-millionaire and billionaire real estate developers would have to pay their fair (and very large share).

2. A two-thirds majority of CA legislators could vote to repeal it.

This will never happen as Prop. 13 is the third rail of CA politics and it would be sure political suicide to do so.

Prop. 13 is an utter disaster and CA will never heal with it on the books.
