SFBA income tax, state and federal, would leave about 55% of that, then, so, as usual, California is expensive.

Income taxes are more like 30% of that. It’s expensive, but not that expensive. Unless you’re counting rent in that, but even then I think half is pushing it.

Actually 39.04% according to this website. Still, 30% is closer to correct than 55%.
