What's the equivalent of a $16 Napa salary in Nebraska? I really don't think it's worth moving for.

$16 in Napa is probably $2 in Nebraska. The cost of living there is so much lower than California you can barely compare the two. Homes are 1/10th the price or less.

You can find a nice house in Omaha for $175k that would cost about $2.5 million in Palo Alto for example.

When (if?) Bay Area workers ever figure this out they should telecommute from the midwest.
