It's all relative to average housing prices in the state. An average 3 bedroom house in LA will cost you north of $1 mil and have a property tax anywhere between 10-15K, which is comparable to monthly rent in some states even though CA has some of the lowest property taxes in the country. You basically never stop paying rent in California even if you've paid off your house. It just depends on who the rent goes to.
