I promise you that someone in SF making $50k/month can comfortably afford a very nice house.

I promise you not. Houses here cost $2M+ for something livable and $1M for something with mold and other safety issues.

When half that $50K gets taxed, half of what's remaining has to be saved up for retirement in a place that deeply discriminates against age, you don't have much left to save up for buying a $2M house.
