I am in tech and can live and work anywhere. I am staying in Bay Area because of climate/geography until taxes are too high to bear (very near that point now)

Where would you go though? Always interested in hearing people's answer to that.

In US: Austin, TX. Utah, Maybe Florida.

Outside US (taxes could be higher, but what I get in return could be a better deal than CA): Sydney, Australia or Auckland, New Zealand.

Taxes are lower in both those places (source: I moved from Brisbane AU to Austin TX). The idea that the US (and CA in particular) is a low tax place to live is a really successful urban myth.

I would try Auckland before you buy. It's cold compared to all your other places.

lol, CA is certainly not a low tax place :)
