Can somebody please give me a real sense of what a decent salary is to live on in San Francisco? I have seen a few posts asking this but they seem to get off track and the question is never completely answered. Specifically, I am looking for the cost of living vis-à-vis Manhattan.

As some background, I am single 30-something from Manhattan so yes, I am used to the high cost of living (so pls do not turn this into a thread stating it is so expensive, go elsewhere, etc, etc). I would be renting, not looking to buy. Would be interested in a decent area to live, but doesn’t need to be super trend, just safe. Go out a few nights a week for dinner, but nothing crazy. Am outdoorsey and run/bike, etc. Would not be bringing a car with me.

I know I could use cost of living calculators and have checked them out, but with past moves, I have found them a bit off.

I have heard that food is a lot more expensive (in grocery stores) than in NYC and clothing too (since there is no sales tax on clothing/footwear) in NYC.

Thanks!
