This is Texas:

It's worse in San Francisco, but it's a nation-wide problem.

I would argue that it's worse now in high COL TX metros than it is in the bay area, because even if home values are still lower in Austin, for example, Texas property taxes are brutal compared to CA and have increased dramatically [in line with property value appreciation], which Prop 13 doesn't allow to happen in CA.

I mean it's not just Texas either.
