Only to people who don't understand economics. I know the salaries in NYC are high as well, but I understand the cost of living that drives that.

no, even to people who understand economics.

the only reason the cost of living is so high in SF is because of grossly over paid employees who drive up the cost of living. its a private little island of inflation.

Ive made a lower SV salary after my education in Bern Switzerland. I had to pay way less taxes, had benefits included, and cost of living was lower as well.
