Twenty year San Francisco resident here. $110,000/year is decent pay, but its not enough to afford to pay a mortgage for a small home in the city. It's a good idea to have your first responders living in the city they serve, you know, in case of an emergency (i.e. earthquake). I'm glad to hear they pay well, and if that's the base pay, hopefully the more senior officers make enough that they can buy a middle class home and settle down in the city they serve. Also, good pay = less corruption. SF is the only place I've lived where I trusted the cops.
