I'm curious. What is your tax appraisal value for the SF condo? I'm in the so-called conservative Texas and I pay $2100 on a $66,000 tax appraisal. I too am selling out but I haven't been able to find a buyer even when there was good economic times.
I think Property Taxes in Texas are about 3X California going by appraised value.
If you are paying $2K on $66K, in California, you would be paying about $2K on $200K appraised value, but this is just a guess.
Your $66K house in Texas would likely be nicer than a $200K House in California, so it's not really a valid comparison.
If Texas lowered its property tax rate, they would just make it up on the appraisal. Jerks.
