That HAS to be at least part of the cause.

I don't remember who the poster on CB was who found a real estate site and put in the price his house in Utah was worth to see what would come up in Texas. Needless to say he found a much nicer house than what he had in Utah. Then of course came the predictable responses about property taxes being so bad in Texas. They don't know what they're talking about. I don't know anyone who moved from Utah to Texas since I've been here who didn't make a move upward on the standard of living scale.
