If you lower you costs in housing, in Texas you'd pay less in property taxes, so you save twice (more discretionary plus a lower tax bill) In San Jose, it doesn't matter how cheaply you live, your income is still taxed at the same rate and things still cost the same. And the cheapest San Jose place would still be far more expensive than the cheapest Austin place.
