People move from country to country to have a better life or quality of life. I moved from CA for a number of reasons one of which the CA politics suck I moved to NJ. My parents moved from CA as well to Nevada also because of the politics and the taxation.

I didn't like the laws of my county it had blue laws so the stores were all closed on Sundays the only day off I had. I moved to another county. Eventually I didn't like the laws of NJ and moved to NY.

My family had a business in NY and NJ was attracting businesses with tax breaks, many businesses including bankers moved to NJ.

Housing and health codes for food makers vary from state to state. Why should I pay extra for a house that needs to withstand tornadoes in earthquake country or vice versa?

As far as consistency, you're getting it. You drive the same types of roads, you spend the same currency, you don't have a VAT or nationwide sales tax, you have minimum standards of fuel efficiency and safety. There's a miminum wage law that the feds set and states are welcome to exceed those requirements, just like the pollution standards of vehicles sold in CA are higher than other states.
