Actually, speaking as a fellow San Franciscan, the only houses in
this land strapped city that would have a "half acre of land" is in the
Sea cliff, Presidio Heights and Forest Hill area's. I believe they start
at around 2million on up to 18million. And the sick part of it is, these
prices don't even affect me anymore. It's when I hear about a 3 or 4
bedroom house on an acre of land for $150 grand that I say aloud -
"WHAT! OK, just step away from that bottle..." :-)

I live in SF and have lived in the Pensacola area of Florida. The salary
calculators are ridiculous because most of them factor in what it would cost
to have a 3 or 4 bedroom house on a half acre of land. That would cost a
million here in the city and would only cost about 150k in Tampa. So, if
you account for something like that then sure you are correct. But, if you
figure in ALL of my expenses including a 300k house it doesn't come close to
the 100k difference you are saying. I would say 80k in Tampa is about
120-125k in SF. But, if you are planning on owning a large house then maybe
you are right. In any case 80k is decent for Tampa, but it's not
exceptional.
