Toronto house prices are about 3/4 of SF, but salaries are about 1/3 to 1/2.

Far harder to own a home in Toronto on a tech salary.

And if you get a tech job in SF, you’ve got great health insurance, so not a major obstacle.

Yup, as long as you have a job with medical coverage, you're OK. But God forbid you should lose your job and get sick, right? Because then you're screwed.
