Where is this not true? If you actually do the math for software engineers it simply doesn't add up. Most decent rust belt cities will be a severe drop in salary that it wouldn't be worth it. Some cities in Texas you'll break even. If we're including low skill tech workers, then sure, their benefits won't compare. I was looking at it from a different PoV.
