Depends where in California and where in Western Europe

The cost of living doesn't really vary much no matter where you live in California. Rent maybe varies between 2,500 and 4,500 for an apartment, but other costs are still the same.

I assume they mean in an apples-to-apples comparison, not tent-city in SF vs mansion in Warsaw

If we are comparing expensive cities, we might as well start with Geneva:

> You would need around 7,858.14$ (7,254.94Fr.) in Geneva to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 8,300.00$ in San Francisco, CA (assuming you rent in both cities).

Although other countries/cities in Europe are cheaper than this, you should know that Switzerland has extremely low income tax, compared to others.
