When Jerry Brown repeals Prop 13, and your property taxes triple...

Property taxes in CA tripling would put them right up there with Texas and Florida property taxes. Although, those states don't have a state income tax so it would still be beneficial to move. But right now, what we've found is all states (except perhaps NV) get you one way or the other. Moving to Texas cost us money because wages are lower there and the property tax was triple and rising quickly (they didn't need voter approval to raise the taxes each year).

Gotta look at the whole picture when figuring where to move to. So far, NV is good economically - but ugly in most places. WV is good if you have a job already there or are retired. Same with Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and the Dakotas - IF you like cold winters!
