Nah. Property tax is good. It pays for better community spaces and services. Better roads, local infrastructure, public transit, schools. It probably didn’t go up very much if at all as a percentage of your property value. They likely just reassessed your property value and they’ve doubled since before COVID. It’s completely normal for taxes to go up with property value.
California is already draining itself on tax breaks for property owners, and capping insurance increases would rapidly accelerate the current flight of insurers out of the state.
And you want that in exchange for a rent hike cap on 51,700 rent-controlled units, in a city of 4 million? Seriously?
Just as long as they also cap property tax and insurance increases at 3%, I’d be fine with that. I had both more than double in price in 3 years.

Insurance etc… yeah, a call would be nice

Property tax is alreadly locked in California.
