Taxes are super high. I'd be big mad if I was Californian, they get very little investment back from federal taxes (they are effectively subsidizing the poorly run states) and have to make up the shortfall at the state level.
I got a check earlier this year for $1k because of their budget surplus...
Food isn't taxed at all. We have great social programs. We have beautiful parks. We have tons of public land dedicated to being places where people can go and hang out and enjoy nature. We have absolutely tons of activities that cost $0 to enjoy. You couldn't fucking pay me to live in another state.
See the rant I posted titled "FuckTheSouth.com" in a different part of this thread.
