You can say the same about Las Vegas, or living & working in Vancouver,WA (NOT Vancouver, Canada) and shopping in Portland,OR (no state income tax and no sales tax) or living in Seattle,WA. And employers pay fairly close to SF wages in Seattle. The weather, of course, is constant drizzly rain with glorious summers 3-4 months of the year, and scorching dessert in LV.

And there is Miami, FL. Nice weather, no income tax. I don't know anything about the housing market there, or culture.

You can also work in the UAE/Dubai, with 0 income tax! The laws are a bit oppressive and slavery in all but name fuels all the construction work. Or Singapore, with something around 9/10% total income tax at typical SF engineer wages. If your american, you still have to pay taxes to uncle sam after ~$94k if you work in another country.
