Given what high salaries has done to cities like London and San Francisco, I believe it's an ethical urgency for companies that can afford it to pay the same salaries regardless of location. We should be incentivising people to not live in big cities, it might actually do something to (a) fix housing prices and (b) help reduce the ridiculous political polarisation we've been seeing.
- moxious 9y agoI don't really know what should be done about salaries. I don't really believe that "fairness" can be defined, or even if it could be, that you could get a global workforce to agree on a definition. On the other hand, I'd take the opposition position of yours and say that we should be incentivizing people to live in big cities for [many reasons](https://www.city-journal.org/html/why-big-cities-matter-more-ever-13324.html https://www.city-journal.org/html/why-big-cities-matter-more...). It is not perfect or tradeoff-free, but nothing ever is.
