If California tried to do no sales tax, our income tax would be insane

8-10%

our vat plus insurance is 30%

10% sounds like a dream

9.25% in my area

but then no free healthcare

Sheesh that's crazy

Rent is crazy though

It's around 8% here but for big things I go to New Hampshire for zero

SF rent is upwards of 3k

My brother is paying almost $4k a month in SF

He lives in downtown though

SF?

Fucking hell that's bad

sanfran

Yes

That's cheap actually since some people moved out because of covid

Are you norcal or socal @based ?

They moved east closer to lake Tahoe

Norcal

same

everyone moves to livermore and Tracy to escape rent costs

Are the roads utter shit?

i went to school with a guy whos last name was livermore

Where I am yes, they constantly fix them and they become shitty again. But that's because they do temporary patches

Depends what area you're in

Oakland roads are awful

I live closer to a city

San Jose roads are getting bad

The smaller suburbs are still nice

My brother has to carry since the homeless in SF can be wild

damn

Yeah they are

i hear thres shit everywhere

In SF, yeah

And needles

They wash the streets quite a bit

Saw it when I was there last

If you get in a bad time where they're on lunch yeah there's shit

You can smell it if you're in the wind direction

Winter takes care of our homeless population. I'm trying to find the article but the governor accidentally killed a bunch of Somalians by having them immigrate during the winter without housing.
