sdr: I’ve given you data, but you call them “imaginary studies”, so here’s some official statistics you can easily verify via Google:
Monthly electricity costs by state, October
CA: $239.68
FL: 138.68
ID: 108.99
TX: 131.95
AZ: 130.24
Water and sewer rates are similarly far worse in San Diego than the comparable states. Gas prices there down? News flash, they are lower everywhere lately, but still highest in CA. Public schools there still rank poorly based on national test scores, yet per-pupil spending among the highest.
You live in a gilded neighborhood of San Diego, and good for you. But it is not representative of greater San Diego which is losing population as per US Census Bureau to the states listed above.
