I read the comment this way too, but the OP is actually agreeing with you.

They are saying that Silicon Valley salaries are much higher than Sydney, and the cost of living in SV isn't anywhere near double (as you point out, it's probably cheaper than Sydney).

I'm sure SF is more expensive, not sure about Mountain View, Palo Alto, etc.
