This is funny because I have found this to be the exact opposite. Utah, Florida, Texas has better infrastructure than California, New York, Massachusetts. Are some low-tax states shitholes? Yes, but there are definitely low-taxation states that are well run. It really has nothing to do with the rate of taxation (beyond a certain point), it's more about the quality of government and the priorities of where the spending should go.

You'd have to describe where in Texas you're referring to and what you mean by infrastructure, because Austin is embarrassingly bad when it comes to public transit and general walkability and Houston faces similar growing pains due to being incredibly underfunded and our state government being a shitshow.
