IDK, coming from NYC to TX is probably a net upgrade in a lot of ways, especially if you're a small business owner or work for one. The laws in NYC are just so bonkers.
Then again, I'm uninterested in moving to TX either. I'm pretty happy here in Utah, and I may move back home to Seattle, WA at some point, or maybe we'll move to NC. But I'm not moving anywhere further south than NC.
Yah the taxes in NYS (not NYC) are one of the problems I mentioned, but on the other hand I've seen what they paid for. As an Upstate NY resident I have a love/hate relationship with NYC.
