Which is accounted for by the lower CoL. I've had a couple of recruiters call me about jobs in San Francisco so I checked the CoL, and the CoL difference between San Fran and Houston is over a 100%. And companies weren't willing to pay double the rates they are here.

If you're turning a profit in Houston, and you double what you're spending, you don't need to double your pay to be turning a larger profit.
