- NH gets nearly 2/3 of its revenue from property taxes
No sales or income tax will get you that. I sold my house and went back to renting because my town doubled my already ludicrously high property taxes.

Won't you still be (indirectly) paying property tax, as your landlord needs to recoup?

Yes but you can get below market rents from owners who don’t have a mortgage to pay.

Landlords are price takers. They respond to the market by setting rent at the highest anyone will pay them. Of course they might decide to sell, but if they dont then they cant just raise rent whenever they face a supply shock.

The WA sales tax I suppose explains why a fast food burger requires a down payment.

although it seems the workers aren't relying on tips as their salary, which hopefully means you can actually tip when it makes sense to.

Oregon, where we get taxed to hell on both income and property yet still have decrepit infrastructure, declining publicly funded healthcare(OHA), and poor education.

Eastern or Western Oregon? Because there are big political, economic and geographical differences between the two.

Well, yeah, OR doesn't have a general sales tax so it's proportionally more dependent on income tax. vice versa for WA, no personal income tax so depends more on sales tax.
This is an interesting chart, but it really is showing one policy dimension - choice of tax base.
- NH gets nearly 2/3 of its revenue from property taxes
- OR raises more of its revenue than CA in income tax
- TN/AZ are a close 2nd/3rd to WA in sales tax revenue
