I enjoy the outdoors here more than most but the taxes are bullshit.

Tens of thousands per year in state income tax. The nation's highest sales tax on top of that and we barely even afford school buses for my kids.

Why? Because all that tax revenue is going into my landlords already fat pockets. Prop 13 is over $30B per year -- that's 4x the size of the NSF and $7B larger than NASA. That stupid law ruined the state and I don't fault anyone for leaving. I'm trying to figure a way out to.




Fair enough. I totally respect that perspective, and no hard feelings.

Prop 13 is pretty controversial, and considering it bullshit it not something I would consider unreasonable.

I wish you the best wherever life takes you.
