And my mom is in poor health & uneducated. There's no way she could go move away to some state by herself. All her friends and family are close by. So it kinda sucks hearing that the solutions the 49 other states have basically would screw her.

It isn't the sole reason but is a primary reason. The State Legislators providing generous services for an ever growing population and not inceasing the tax base enough to pay for this is a primary cause where as in most states property taxes are increased to help provide the tax base necessary to pay for the services provided.
