I think the other complicating piece of compensation is the potential for equity to be worth something someday. It seems to me people in SF are here to take a shot on the startup lottery much more so than other places. It's also a city where you can easily play a few lottery tickets over a few years, which is not the same elsewhere.

Even when the stock is going down if you have an employee stock purchase plan where you can set aside money that will buy stock at fixed times for a percentage discount it can be huge win.
