SN Member McGruber points us a study by TriNet that provides (buzzword alert!) 'cloud-based human resources services.' The study concludes that Austin is the place to go.
From the article:
"Austin ranks Number 1 in the nation when it comes to offering the largest tech salaries that have been adjusted for cost of living expenses, such as housing, groceries, utilities and other necessities.
The seven major tech hubs, ranked by cost of living adjusted average salaries:
1. Austin: $105,000
2. Atlanta: $103,000
3. Denver-Boulder: $98,000
4. Boston: $79,000
5. Silicon Valley: $78,000
6. Los Angeles: $70,000
7. New York: $56,000"

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

States that do not have income tax get their money through the property tax. In CA property tax is controlled (1% rise per year.) What is the situation in TX?

2.5-3.5% is probably typical. I'm just over 3% in an Austin suburb. Yes Austin is in Texas and all the political baggage that comes with that. However, Austin is also extremely liberal compared to the rest of the state. While that doesn't change the state-wide political items it does impact the local political landscape a ton.

My property tax is about 2-3 times more than what it was in Colorado,but I have a much better house thats tax-apparaised at a LOT lower than my worse house was in Boulder. So it sort-of evens out.
