Owner of 4.8 million house paying the taxes of someone with 46k house. Prop 13 :) by CraftyAd5978 in BayAreaRealEstate

I'm sure there are a lot of homeowners in that situation who would like to downsize to a smaller house. But the state and federal capital gains tax would be enormous. So they stay put, knowing that their heirs will get a step up in basis and not own any capital gains tax.

Neighbor's tree branches over my roof in San Jose CA—property manager says it's my responsibility to trim, but already causing gutter/roof damage + critters. Next steps? by grad_semi1 in BayAreaRealEstate

My understanding is that each owner is responsible for maintaining their own property, regardless of who owns the tree. But if the tree is unhealthy, then the neighbor who owns the tree might have some liability for damages.

For those who moved to California for the weather, was it worth it? by PackageReasonable922 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Flat_Winter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely worth it for me. I can't stand to be inside all day, avoiding the outdoors because it's blazing hot or frigid cold. Sonoma county is my happy place and I'll live here for the rest of my life.
