On top of that the taxes in California are backbreaking plus the values of homes are about 3 to 4 times more then they are in other parts of the country. For example a house in Ashburn might cost Evans $500,000. In California, especially San Francisco, that same home will cost him about $1.5 million. Basically if the offers are similar he would do best to stay put.

Let's see sales tax in SF and the Peninsula is 8.25% soon to be 9.25% due to state budget crisis, car registration is going to double. Housing is expensive but prices have dropped about 30-40%, thank god they repealed the extra $0.12 Cents a gallon tax that was on the original budget. Public schools suck, not like the one I attended in Rockville back in the 70's. There's a lot of negatives, but at the same lots of nice things. If he's single, he'll love it, more chicks for guys due to gay population.
