Well, that depends. *I* couldn't live at that wage, at least not "in the manner to which I (and my family) have become accustomed". I mean, you're always going to be able to get SOMEONE for almost any job at any wage, but considering what you're asking for, the salary seems extraordinarily low to me. That said, I haven't looked at the conditions in SF lately; the last time I was there in any sort of employment context was 1996, so things may have changed greatly since then.
