I’ve always thought of it like you are able to pick your tax burden. Property taxes may be higher, but you get to decide what you’ll pay based on your purchase price.
A lot of states have a high income tax and high property taxes. I’m not sure what they get for that privilege. I’ve lived all over and, other than scenery, most states are the same.
