Yea, that’s a really good point. If your company wants to transfer you from a healthy state to California, then you should DEMAND as part of the transfer that they give you a bonus to cover your share of their IDIOTIC debt.
That is basically how working in NYC functions (though not because of the debt); if you are going to pay a city income tax, and pay the high costs of commuting daily, then firms in NYC pay a premium to draw employees from NJ or CT.
