Poway California, population 47,811 as of 2010, has placed an enormous bet on rising home prices and tax revenues. Poway borrowed $105 million but will not start to pay that amount back until 2033 at which time they will owe $877 million in interest.
Clearly this would be fiscal insanity anywhere, but it is especially true in California given Proposition 13 that caps property taxes.
