I have lived in both SF and Vancouver and I don't find it laughable at all. I also now live in NYC and have previously lived in London, UK. My experience may be anecdotal but it is representative. Of all the places I have just listed, I saved the least amount of money when I lived in Vancouver. To be clear, the amount of money I put away each month after all expenses was lowest in Vancouver.
In fact, the number of devs being recruited from Vancouver down to SF should be an indication of how much more financially attractive it is to work down there. I can't even imagine someone from SF choosing to make the move to Vancouver.
