To run with this a bit further, per a major salary website, the cost of living in Chicago is is -39.7% lower than in San Francisco, CA.
If you are earning $100k in San Francisco, you would have to earn a salary of only $60,263 to maintain your current standard of living.
AND employers in Chicago, IL typically pay only -15.6% less than employers in San Francisco, CA.
The same type of job in the same type of company in Chicago, IL will typically pay $84,392.
So you'd be much more comfortable in Chicago. Well, financially. You'd still have to contend with the weather, the pizza and, well, to be blunt, Chicagoans. (I'm still pissed at them for sending the 1918 flu here.) https://www.salary.com/research/cost-of-living/compare/san-francisco-ca/chicago-il
