Property taxes are very high thanks to prop 13. 250k in California is like 30k in states like Texas or Illinois, enough to make it a great year but not life changing.

I think you’re exaggerating a few things, and forgetting that even if expenses like housing are higher, not every cost scales with income. The price of many standard goods are very similar. Not to mention that for example if you have x% of your income left over after expenses, that’s still way more money in one situation over another.
You’re sounding very out of touch to be honest.
