They do, hey just charge you to use them. Lol. It's pretty ridiculous to live here. The hippies have caused the cost of living to keep going up. New laws and restrictions make doing business in the state cost more and more Each year. Just my registration alone for my two cars cost over $700 a year. I'll save close to $30,000 a year by moving.

If that's the case why worry about utilities? I'm half joking but I think a bigger concern and worth more attention would be the comparison of the following

Cal state tax
Sales tax
Property tax
Insurance cost

Possible AMT issues federally

Vs

Property tax
Sales tax
Insurance cost

Less likely to have the AMT issue federally

Prop tax here is 2% and I'm paying it on $600k. So 3% on $400k won't be back. Sales tax doesn't bug me. I'll save a bunch on corp tax as there isn't any in Texas. Ins cost here are ridiculous. So I'm not sure what you pay for ins. Fam of 4 here on crap coverage is $700 a month.
