SN Member McGruber points us a study by TriNet that provides (buzzword alert!) 'cloud-based human resources services.' The study concludes that Austin is the place to go.
From the article:
"Austin ranks Number 1 in the nation when it comes to offering the largest tech salaries that have been adjusted for cost of living expenses, such as housing, groceries, utilities and other necessities.
The seven major tech hubs, ranked by cost of living adjusted average salaries:
1. Austin: $105,000
2. Atlanta: $103,000
3. Denver-Boulder: $98,000
4. Boston: $79,000
5. Silicon Valley: $78,000
6. Los Angeles: $70,000
7. New York: $56,000"

New York is traditionally Finance and specific sectors of Entertainment rather than the tech industry.
But more to the point, nobody move to California. Stay out of California, go to Austin instead. California is a wasteland, Texas has everything and land is dirt-cheap. And, man, Big Oil is out there, providing plenty of high-paying work for disciplined professionals not living in Austin. Texas also has rivers and beaches, and you can go to Mexico there too!
The dirty little secret is that California is hemorrhaging businesses and inhabitants because California is one of the most hostile states to not only God-given rights, but business and its taxes. Don't even think about starting up or even operating any small business here, because you will be taxed grossly disproportionately to pay for undocumenteds' hospital bills.
California's population has a reputation for being one of the most ignorant and obnoxious in the entire world, and it won't change anytime soon with large numbers of first-generation immigrants who subscribe to a Mediterranean value-system -- Extended social welfare through the family, which is exactly why a certain "minority" which is actually a majority *cough* holds conservative beliefs but always votes liberal. And since I am part-that-minority, I can say that without being modded down. Mixed children do, after all, have it harder than those who are not mixed.

You must live in California. I assume you are trying to scare anyone else from moving there. Sometimes I feel that way too. It often seems it's getting very crowded out here. Maybe a good idea if more people moved to Austin and Atlanta.
