You have some good points, especially regarding spending. However, I have to take exception to the "I have mine" comment. Calif. has a sales tax, as well as an income tax to run state gov. In addition, each town, county has their own tax rate, as does the cities in NH. Therefore the people who consume pay a tax which helps pay for local gov. I also find it hard to believe that a high property tax "helps" a strugling 25 year old buy a home in NH. How does that work? Calif is about 4-5 times larger then NH and not all of Calif is LA or San Francisco, or Silicon Valley, where prices are greatly inflated.

I do agree that ownership longevity pays off. We have all seen our property values increase, no matter where we live, and when and if we deceide to sell we will all benefit.
