Living in Texas is cheaper than California by almost every metric. Doesn't matter what income level you are at.
@E1ectionLouieGreen6mos6MO
Show them then, because based on taxes
That isn’t true. If you mean house prices then sure.
@TheRightPearRepublican6mos6MO
Yes based on taxes.
California's sales tax ranges from 1-4% more than Texas, depending on the city. In the most populated area, the LA metro, the sales tax alone is almost 10%.
Add in property taxes, taxes on fuel, taxes on goods, etc, and the tax rate goes far beyond the 10% the graphic claims.
Hell, the "data" the article claims the graphic is about is closer to a decade old than it is today.
You will live a much less expensive life in Texas vs California, and it's not even close.

No one ever mentions home prices! CA has 1,100 sq foot shacks for $800k while you can get 3,000 square foot homes for 500k in Houston. Funny how these real estate experts show us %s, but leave our actual cost of homes.
