Highest marginal income tax rate in Virginia is 5.75%, thats about half of California’s tax rate. Sales tax is 5% rather than 8.5% here. Property taxes are about the same in percentage terms, but you get A LOT more house for the money. The public schools in the DC suburbs of northern Virginia are very good. Crime is low. Its a much better deal for the people who work at SAIC. Same reason UPS moved from CT to Atlanta Georgia 20 years ago. Its a smart decision for SAIC, maybe will be a slap in the face for California to realize that current policies need to change and change quickly.[/quote]
People who work at SAIC in SD should be able to live in low-crime areas with good schools, just an FYI.
