Owl mentioned it earlier, I think the average teacher salary is $74K in SF. They are having huge problems keeping and hiring teachers because of the cost of living here. Forget trying to buy a place, most can't afford to rent here. So many commute an hour or more each direction. Far from ideal.
As you mentioned people can buy homes (in certain areas of the country) with a $40K salary. Desh just doesn't understand pricing, cost of living etc. throughout the country and how it varies.
