Four decades Bay Area native here. Yes, unless the salary more than makes up for the extremely-unbalanced cost of living. Housing and everything in SF is obscenely expensive. It's been this way for many years, but still people try to migrate there like lemmings because "everyone else is doing it," only to later realize either they're stuck and can never retire except into poverty OR are forced to leave and find somewhere else more suitable for saving money, raising a family and/or maintaining one's sanity. Don't move there lightly without a definite plan and budget, or you may likely find yourself either wasting time and money, or in ruins.
