People choosing to live in Palo Alto will just have to factor that into their decision, IMHO. Charles Tutt (SM)

Since I have been living in 2 extremely divergent locales for most of my life - northern CA and Dallas (my family moved back and forth when I was a kid), I know that this debate as to taxation of "high cost" areas vs. lower cost has been going on forever. The problem isn't that people don't see the issue, the problem is that there is no way to manage cost of living in the tax code. When this came up about 15 years ago there were actually some congresspeople in California who were arguing against aligning the tax code with cost of living, because they felt the high cost of California "kept out the riff raff". I wish I could find some articles on the web about that but I can't. Bottom line, it costs more to live in California, just the way it is, I doubt anything ever changes to that effect.
