Based on some quick Googling and Glassdoor, it looks like average salaries are ~110k vs. ~80k. The cost of rent in San Francisco looks to be ~190% higher.

Not sure how well those figures line up with reality, though.

Most people here make way above average, and that's when differences increase dramatically. In the US I make close to $300k. In Europe, and London in particular, I get offered under 80k EUR.

The GP claims most people on HN, which seems likely.

Metro Vancouver (2800km^2) is quite a bit bigger than SF (600km^2), so you may want to include rents in other outlying Bay Area cities.
