A 2% tax rate on a home in Texas is much less in dollar terms than a 1% tax rate on a home of equivalent size in California

The challenge is if you need to work in tech and eventually need to commute daily/weekly to headquarters. You'll need to be within 30 minutes of Austin if you want to be in new tech (Apple, Google) or 30 minutes of Dallas/Houston if you are okay with legacy tech (HP, IBM). And you'll want to be in a good school district with like minded high income folks with restaurants options.

You'll likely be paying close at best the equivalent of Silicon Valley housing.

Casually surfing around Austin's future Apple headquarters on Redfin, for a Single Family with school ranking scores above 7-8 , I'm seeing 1M+?
