Look for states that over tax their residents to pass some kind of tax on people who move out of the state to avoid the over taxation.

California did that shortly after I sold my house. They assess a sales tax on the home sale. If you buy another house in California, you can get the sales tax back. If you leave the state, CA keeps the tax.

"They The State of California assess a sales tax on the home sale."

Are you sure it is a sales tax and not a withholding requirement for state income tax?

If it is a sales tax, I beat them out of the tax on an almost $1,000,000 sale. I'm not going to pay it now either!
