state income tax is higher, sales tax is higher, personal property tax (excise) tax is higher.

Our children have 4.5 years left in school, we'll likely move right after
When we lived in MA we looked into a "summer" house in Westerly, RI (a friend had a semi-permanent house there, some were built as full time, some summer homes only and some had taken their summer cabin and made it winterizeable). The real estate taxes on the house were almost as much as the value of the house. That region has gone a little goofy. Almost CA-like.
