I probably should have been more clear - are there areas in the bay area with good schools, and homes that require significantly less earnings than 175k per year (say, 125k?) And I'd like to not spend 2 hrs commuting, because spending time with my children would be nice. In my experience, you have to pay a lot more here to get the same quality of life that you could find elsewhere.
I live in the Bay area, and am raising a family here. It is expensive - 175K/yr would probably buy you the same standard of living as 80k/yr would in Ottawa, Canada, where
I grew up.

- tptacek 17y agoIt's not as if it's hard to actually figure out the cost of living difference between Ottawa and San Francisco. They're ranked all over the place. Ottawa and Chicago are neighbors in the rankings on the first page of the Google results. $80,000 in Ottawa therefore approximates $108,000 in San Francisco.
