Oh absolutely... Just saying, it's a big factor and sometimes people forget about it.
Since you brought up California, and just to further the discussion of costs, I'm finding out my property tax + hurricane insurance + bug man + higher A/C bills make my cost of living higher in FL than it was in California (lower prop tax but state income tax), same sq footage... Lot of variables to include when figuring out where to retire.... ;-)
