Old Westbury is an hour+ drive to Manhattan with nominal traffic, a $5.50 toll each way, and $12 for an hour of parking. The taxes in Cupertino are fixed at 1% the value of the home, should be somewhere along the lines of 13K a year- This land in Old Westbury is assessed at 4.7 million dollars (which leads me to wonder what "special opportunity the realtor mentions) with combined property and school taxes of $78K a year. Use the link below to try and decipher it all- this appears to be a 2nd house on a larger piece of property. http://www.nassaucountyny.gov/mynassauproperty/main.jsp While Bay Suburbs have insane sticker-shock, the taxes here in Nassau are easily more than double- which will certainly get you over time.

One just happens to be on the other side of the country. Yet they swap the same clueless people back and forth, both cost an arm and a leg, bot are fraught with corrupt governments that have succeeded in taxing a lot of their businesses away and both are losing hundreds of thousands of people per year because- they suck. But I give California more credit though since at least you get nice weather versus NY where the weather is pretty nasty for 8 months out of the year. They’re basically the same thing.
