I live in San Francisco which is expensive, but I understand housing is almost as high in DC.

I just read the entire thing and see that $110,357 would be needed to "live comfortably" in SF. . . I don't think $110,000 annually would suffice at this point in San Francisco, as the AVERAGE 1-bedroom apartment goes for $3500/month nowadays. . . . That doesn't account for other inflated prices, as businesses have to pay more in rent as well and pass much of that cost along to consumers.
