Move to Texas. Cheaper and better housing, no state income tax, and only a few enclaves of loons instead of a state full of them. Your SALT problems will disappear.

With our only child having moved there last year, it is a consideration. But in our case, it won't make much of a difference in our federal tax bill because property taxes in Texas are still pretty high.

And from what I have been reading, some Texans are getting fed up with the annual spikes in their property tax bills. I guess as retirees (one of us is 65+), we would lock in a portion of that bill. Despite that, I figure they would rise more than the 2% limit imposed by Prop 13 in CA (until the super majority there gets it overturned).
