Are taxes really the only metric you measure a place by? Americans have a pretty high tax rate and get nothing for it.

That was sort of my point. My effective tax rate in CA would be roughly 2x what it is now (for state taxes), and I'd get nothing for it. And that's before even factoring in the much, *much* higher COL.
