As a parent and engineer in the bay area COL is more extreme than other higher cost areas in the country, My company gives a 15% paycut from the sf bay area to say Colorado front range and these were a few things I noticed (having lived in both, colorado on left sfbay on right):
- Housing, 3000 sqft house vs. 1500 sqft (sfbay house double the cost)
- Taxes(state) - ~4.8% vs ~10%
- Property taxes - $6k vs. $17k yearly
- Gas ~$2.2 per gal vs. ~$3.40 a gal
- Childcare, 12k vs 24k
