15% - that’s awful!
I can just imagine - they have to pay for the government union workers?
I’m thinking of Pierce County - cheaper down there but not that far from town....depending on traffic.
Carlsbad CA also is nice - a fairly conservative enclave in the midst of madness.
The weather there is so tempting.
We tried CA for a year because of weather and proximity to relatives. But the tax structure in CA is punishing!
High state tax on income.
High sales tax.
High property tax.
High auto licensing fees.
Our taxes in WA state are way better except sales tax of course. Our next move...either Florida or SC.
