Now everyone has to deal with it.

The bias in that statement implies that the taquerias that have continued to rent simply made bad business decisions and thus, deserve the hardship they now endure.

La Taqueria pays tax on:

Land: $46,719.00
Structure: $20,332.00

and La Cumbre pays tax on:

Land: $38,806.00
Structure: $19,765.00

Thanks to Prop 13, these businesses are literally printing money.

Must be nice!!!

They can afford to pay their employees wages to stay local. They also appear to be one giant family anyway.

That’s getting harder.

I fear that the current generation of taqueros/taqueras will retire and no one will replace them.
