So basically a bunch of reasons that exclusively screw poor and middle class people. A rich athlete's wet dream.
Had a friend move to Tenn in 2021. He's not making hockey player $, but mid 6 figures. He figures that with buying a new home, furnishing, landscaping etc, that the state government is getting more $ out of him in sales taxes than if he was paying Alberta level sales/income tax. He's thinking 2025 might move things the other way.
