Meals are taxed in TX as they are in CA. Groceries aren't taxed in TX as they aren't in CA.
Gas is more in CA (2.89) than in TX (2.03). Our property tax rate is 0.81%. Yours is 1.90%.
The #1 employer in TX is Walmart. In CA it's UC. Not that that really matters. [1]
You haven't shown that the COL is 3-10 times higher in CA than in TX. A reliable cite would help. More, yes. 3-10 time more? No, that's not even remotely true.

The graphs indicate state by state rank opposed to raw values. * I already linked to a site that does city by city comparisons, but there are so many online.
- CalChris 9y agoThank you, sir. That gives rankings. I'm still waiting for something that shows that CA has a 3-10 x COL than does TX. Your per capita state spending is $4,568 vs CA's $6,774. So it isn't there. Payscale sure isn't saying 3-10x. http://www.payscale.com/cost-of-living-calculator/Texas-Austin/California-Los-Angeles http://www.payscale.com/cost-of-living-calculator/Texas-Aust...
