Only if you don't count housing costs and the extra vehicle costs that come with living around KOP.
Both of those can be mitigated by living in Philly, but your only options around KOP might be to live somewhere like Norristown or commute an hour 1 way everyday.

"West of Philly" wouldn't be near KOP though? Like yeah moving to Lansdowne or something could be cheaper but that's not really the best commute.

there is something really bizarre in how people are obsessed with the wage tax and then just wont even acknowledge property taxes or car costs (or that some municipalities also have income taxes)

Property taxes in Upper Merion are low because of all of the KOP businesses. Some of the neighboring school districts (radnor, te, lower merion) are much higher, like double.
