Being in SF makes the market for your labor more competitive. If I'm living on a ranch in rural Idaho, I would interact with very few people on a given day, and most of them would be the same people I interacted with yesterday. In SF, I'd be interacting with far more people, and far more new people, with a much higher probability of those people working in tech, some subset of whom will be willing to offer me a job.
