They should take into account the higher salaries you can make in high-tax states. Why do you think all those guys work in NYC? We may have high taxes, but we also have lots and lots of jobs that pay $150-500K.

And the higher cost of living to match. When I moved from Seattle to rural Kentucky, I gave up a high standard of living for a high quality of life. But that is not entirely accurate. I didn’t really shift my standard of living all that much.

But I lived near the city for 45 years. I no longer have a need for the things it offers. I like that I could, of I so chose, run around my cleared 8 acres on the part of my property on which my house rests buck naked and nobody would know.
