    In a business perspective, we need to consider cost of living and rent index (considering they will rent in both cities) difference in response to net earnings. Per data in general, we can say that it would cost ~$5000 + to live in California and around $4000 + in Maryland. These values should be directly related to the indices difference of these underlying factors: consumer prices (CA is 4% lower than MD), consumer prices + rent (CA is 7% higher than MD), rent (CA is 28% higher than MD), restaurant (CA is 3% lower than MD), groceries (CA is 4% lower than MD), and local purchasing power is 10% higher in CA than MD.
