When you decamp from SF to Texas, or NYC to Florida, you avoid a significant amount of taxes whether you made the move specifically for that or not. Similarly, if you are in Europe and change your primary residence to Monaco or Luxembourg, you accomplish the same thing.

There is a disconnect when you do something and someone vastly richer does something. There is a line above which it is immoral and wrong, and below which it’s totally OK because you aren’t rich and you are just a good person making a financial decision.

Probably we should pass laws that stop anyone from making any decision that avoids taxes. It’s not fair if you are raised and educated in SF and then take all your money away from the future generation there. Logically it must follow that you owe the community that raised and nurtured you a lifelong duty of taxes. It’s very wrong how people move from SF to Texas.
