Hey Flyguy - First, my apologies.  My comments were on the snarky side which I don't really like to do.

Many of us rode the Alaska Gravy Train - high incomes, low taxes, and increasing property values.  And I completely agree that times here are likely to get quite rocky, and housing will crash just like in the 80's.  But your named taxes as the main reason for your move (inferring that if they weren't so high you'd stay regardless of the coming crash and property devaluation).  That makes no sense to me,  so I challenge you again to pencil it out.  Show me how much less your collective new state's taxes (property + income + sales) will be than your current 9K.  Factor in the loss of PFD and the cost of moving.  

As I said, I suspect you're taking advantage of responsible saving and significant home equity to relocate to a place where a buck goes farther.  I don't blame you; I just challenge the degree to which your Alaska tax burden drives that.
