That's a disingenuous representation of how much extra state income taxes are paid. 13.3% is the rate for single income above $1,000,0000. A richly paid SV worker making $500k single pays 8.75% to the state of CA effectively.[0]

"If your household income is > 1MM and you live in California, it is not surprising that you would want to leave"
