I have been considering a move from CA. Houston has entered my mind, but the high property there taxes make me think twice. Some folks will be quick to say, “but we don’t have income tax.” Big deal. Your income might go down, but property taxes don’t go down. You might lose your job one day. You might make less money one day. Whether you make 100K a year or 0K a year, you still have that high property tax to pay.
