You can also find some information on the cost of living in Geneva at
http://www.ygva.net/ygva/02/pagesintro/intro01.html (part of a recent
brochure published by the State of Geneva).

Hi,
The UBS publication you mention Berthe is called "Prices and Earnings
around the Globe"
http://www.ubs.com/e/index/about/research/pcc/publications.html). Geneva
is one of the 56 cities studied but I don't think there are figures
about the San Francisco Bay Area.
Ubilab spin-off Macrofocus offers a demo of their Price'O'Scope (based
on UBS data):
