What I’ve never understood- what prevents me from, as a remorlte worker setting up a business in a tax haven and charging through that... I mean if this loophole is available to extremely well off individuals and companies why not for services...
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/21/7-us-cities-that-will-pay-yo... Financial relocation incentives don't appear to be anything new, but the alternatives never seemed to ring any bells for me. Hard to pin down precisely, but I think part of it was the fact that a lot of them were asking you to settle down in what might as well be the frontier in terms of urban density and amenities, or maybe the city in question was a bu…

Moved from Oklahoma City to California. Never going back. If you're religious, right-wing, and don't care about having outing options, then Oklahoma is the place for you.
I guarantee that if I spent more than one week in Oklahoma or Kansas, I would get into a terrible political argument with the locals. I can only bite my tongue for so long.
Admittedly this is aggregate for the whole state: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/oklahoma Overall Rank Out of 50: #43 Health Care #48 Education #39 Economy #36 Opportunity #38 Infrastructure #31 Crime & Corrections #34 Fiscal Stability #22 Quality of Life #17 Those aren't great incentives for people with families to want to move.

Both Oklahoma and Vermont have close to a 5% state income tax on the first 100k of income, so for many on HN, this is more like a rebate on state income taxes over the first 2 years. I guess if you always dreamed of moving to these places this could be that little nudge to finally try it out.
I'm a bit confused by the city/town split. I'd definitely describe Tulsa as a city, but then again I'm coming from a 150k people city and living in a 20k people town at the moment.
