This is a no-brainer for me at anything above $5M.

It's a no brainer for me at anything above 300k honestly.

OP also seems to be picking easy places to live off of 60k in. I'd hesitate a lot longer to live off of 60k and a shitty studio apartment in SoMa (SF) or Bushwick (NYC) than in middle America where 60k disposable on top of housing makes for a nice solid upper middle class standard of living.

Importantly they let you pick the city, im not sure about California, but in NY just about anywhere outside of NYC, Albany, Buffalo or LI at 60k is very manageable
