Consider cost of living and taxes in the Bay Area as well. These salaries would be extreme in a place like Idaho but in the Bay Area your money can quickly disappear.

I'm in Boston, which is more expensive than Idaho, but significantly cheaper than the Bay Area.

For example, in 2015 I was able to buy a house that would have cost ~5x as much in a comparable location (25min commute to work, 10min from a subway station) in the Bay.
