California, is it a great place or what? Seen in Facebook comments….
We moved from San Diego to Florida two years ago. Our property taxes went from $12K a year to $2K a year for a similar sized house. We had a six percent effective state income tax rate in California and pay nothing in Florida. The sales tax rate was 7.75 percent in San Diego and we pay 7% where we are in Florida. For the same kilowattage, electricity is a third of the price. Gas is cheaper. With the exception of produce, food is much cheaper. And coastal Florida weather is better than coastal California weather!!!
