It's not just economics, it's quality of life, the commute, the noise, for yourself and family. That's not the same as living standards though. Is London more like SV in that it's okay for younger developers, but struggles to attract when the developer gets older and has more of a life?
That's the main thing I've heard - living in London has a worse quality of life than in other cities, it appears. I've heard young developers who love the vibrant city of London and I've met older developers who moved from London for this reason.

Admittedly the family friendly areas are at the top end of the price range, but the hope is that if you've been on a good technology salary for a while and have saved and invested wisely then they shouldn't be completely out of reach when the time comes.
