Dude, seriously, stop dispensing advice on things you know nothing about. There is a lot more variance than just large cities on state borders. For example, Oregon taxes income earned in Oregon, whether you are an Oregon resident or not, but does not tax income earned outside Oregon, even if you are an Oregon resident. California, on the other hand, taxes its residents' out-of-state income, though it allows a credit for taxes paid to other states. These are but two examples of many, many different types of variance.
Also, though American expats are required to file a federal return, the first $120K (as of 2023, this amount adjusts based on inflation) of foreign-earned income is not taxable.
