To be clear, your percentage of take home pay increases in Texas above that $80Kish mark.
Not sure about cost of rent in Texas. Cost to own varies widely based on exactly where, when you bought and what your rate is, and that's true everywhere.

The angle is the same as my own. We agree on the basic math; it's an ideological disagreement.
Us: What about the 80%
You: What about the 19%.
Cancel that mead.
My angle is stop worrying about the rich. They're fine. They've won the game. They have boats and vacation homes. I wonder what proportion of that extra tax burden on the rich comes from owning tons of sh!t.
If you heard someone say "a person of means" what would that mean to you? Asking for an ed.So $100K/year is rich
Hal said "stop worrying about the rich". The bottom half of 19%ers aren't rich. They are basically making the kind of money you need to raise a family, save for retirement and have the kind of lifestyle that was the middle class norm in the post WW2 era.
Someone who makes $100k in SD can live by the coast. So they’re not rich yet still somehow a person of means lol.
You might be able to rent a place west of I-5 but it's tough to buy with only that income.
@oneworlded Heads up, gaffed your "green policy isn't a racket for the rich" wahoo into the boat, ripped its gills out, tossed them overboard, and flexed like The Predator. The 80th-89th percentile of income earners aren't rich.
Grapedrink thanks for your candor and service. Have a day of great means!
tough to rent for that between Mission Bay and Oceanside. Perhaps an apartment on Sports Arena Blvd
It will be interesting to see how the supposed mass exodus from CA to TX affects taxes, real estate prices, cost of living, and stress on infrastructure and natural resources.

The highly biased and manipulated hit pieces and charts posted in this thread weren't made up out of thin air.CA lost a congressional seat (which would also translate to a lost EC vote iirc?) and the Dem Party is shitting a brick, hence all of the BS charts and PR they are doing to compensate. It's leakage.
It will certainly affect all of the above. However the burden will be on property taxes, not income taxes that punish high producers.

If they are moving to another urbanized area where the damage to the environment has already been done, not much. They are simply transferring the burden from one area to the other.
Somebody is spending serious money to try and stop Californians moving to Texas.

New Jersey isn't really much of a step down in terms of cost of living and the Philly/NYC scene, which you'll probably be working in if you're not pumping gas, is said to make LA seem quaint and laid back.
If you're gonna leave California so you can have more money to dispose of at Cracker Barrel and Target, there are a shitload of better options than New Jersey.
According to this here, there's not many places cheaper than Texas and they're pretty grim.
