They don't pay taxes in Bay Area?

   $100K/year - 35% - $1K/month = $53K/year
   $100K/year - 35% - $2.4K/month = $36.2K/year
   $130K/year - 35% - $2.4K/month = $55.7K/year

You aren't taking marginal tax rates into account. The tax rate you pay on the incremental 30k is higher than the average tax rate of the first 100k, which makes a significant difference.
