We paid more in property tax in Corpus Christi then we did property tax and state income tax combined in California.

CA taxes were punitive. So if they're paying more they're being economically gang raped.

In this person’s situation, you really need a more detailed review of things.

For example, Texas does not have a state sales tax, whereas California does have sales tax.

California property tax rates are lower than many other places, but that is somewhat offset by high property values in California compared to other states.

Apparently Corpus Christi Texas has high property tax assessments, but then, those people are not paying a state income tax.

How you evaluate the financial impact of all of the combined taxes we all pay varies from person to person.

“CA taxes were punitive. So if they’re paying more they’re being economically gang raped.”

It’s hard to pay more in taxes in Texas than in California, but if someone INSISTS on living in a $1M house in Texas with a relatively moderate income, then yes, it is possible.

But then, again, ONLY because of easy-to-control choices they made.
