Can't they move somewhere else in California? We have enough Uber drivers in Texas, we don't need more of them!

Probably because of property taxes, but still would never personally live in a state flat income tax, doesn't make sense to me as consumption based taxes are a better model IMO. Buy an expensive house, cars, clothes..pay more taxes, live small and cheap pay less taxes.

Wow! I never said anything negative, just inquiring why all the Texas license plates suddenly. You should probably go to California next year for vacation. Fart face.

The funny thing is the cost of living here in CO isn't exactly cheap.

Funny, I can say the exact same thing about visiting Texas. Nothing makes me appreciate my home more than stepping outside of the airport after a flight from Texas and not being slapped in the face by a wall of humidity.

I went back and re-read this thread, and I'm not sure why I thought you were being negative.

I want to apologize for my previous unwarranted post.
