I live in California. Unfortunately you're going to be disappointed - California has the highest tax rates and the worst infrastructure. The failure to solve these problems isn't due to having too little money (states and countries with a fraction of California's wealth have solved these problems).
- drewnick 6y agoI agree with this assessment. We moved from FL (0% income tax, 1.5% property tax) to CA (9% for us income tax, 1.05% property tax) and the quality of the infrastructure is at best on par. Which was surprising. Our SALT taxes went up 5x and the services are similar quality.
