      Every state has taxes. I live in Texas and we have property taxes out the ass. The total effective tax rate difference between Texas and Oregon is something like 2%. The difference is even smaller between Oregon and Florida

      But you guys don’t have sales tax. We pay over 10% on everything we buy.

        No sales tax but the cost of overnight has went up drastically the last few years.

        Oregon use to be very cheap. Those days are gone.

        If I take my family out to eat, it’s about 1/2 the cost in Florida.

    Nice weather. Low tax structure. Disney world.

    It’s why it’s a fast growing state.

      One of the worst medical systems in the country, venomous reptiles, arachnids, and insects everywhere, cockroaches the size of a silver dollar, alligators that eat your pets, humid weather that’s impossible to cool off in, rising elderly homelessness, a housing crisis, hurricanes every year, and a governor who is intent on setting progress back 100 years. There are a lot of reasons not to move there too.
