I moved away from California to Texas in the 1990's, and I can tell you that I am MUCH BETTER off in Texas! The sales tax is essentially the same as California. My property taxes really aren't that bad... less than 2% of property value... and I do live in a "Robin Hood" district... A house (and land) here costs a LOT LESS too! So, we are talking pretty small numbers anyway... One thing that Californians can't seem to grasp is the concept of inexpensive real estate! I don't have a large portion of my net worth tied up in my house! What I pay in property taxes in Texas is very small compared to what I would pay in income tax in California (especially if you include investment income as well as salary). It is no contest at all... I am much better off here in Texas.
