It's close to that when you factor in benefits and perks. That said, proximity has a lot going for it, and software is a high margin business. I don't see companies moving away from the Bay Area any time soon, and I don't see developers salaries falling soon either.

It might be, but it's still hard to believe. Has anyone written a blog post with some reasonable napkin math? Some breakdown of a prominent company of engineers by salary range?

Fully agree, a lot of software will be entrenched in the Bay for decades to come.
