on this side of the country it's been popular for years for retirees to pick up and move from high tax california to no tax states like nevada and washington-and both are seeing an increase with the new tax laws. what i will be interested in seeing is how this will impact the area of paradise california. it was a hugely popular place for people to retire to when we lived in northern california a decade or so ago so i'm wondering what with the new tax laws if they won't see a significant percentage of their population who were burned out opting to take their insurance money, cut their losses and relocate out of state (esp. with the significant time-lines they are projecting for any kind of re-builds, the toxic clean up alone is going to take ages but now the heavy rains are complicating matters and they are going to have to rebuild all the underlying utilities-it will take years).
