(C) San Francisco’s cost of living is now higher than that of any other city

(D) San Francisco now has a cost of living higher than that of any other city

D is more clear and concise with correct comparision ..
MartyMurray - Can you please clarify whether comparison in E is incorrect ....(Seems to me as incorrect)

The comparison in E is grammatically correct, but it does not make sense.

The cost of living is what's higher. E conveys that San Francisco itself is higher than any other city.

While it is conceivable that one city could be higher than others in terms of altitude - one at the top of a mountain, the other in a valley - that a city is higher than others in terms of cost of living does not make sense.
