A personal example of this from the past week.
I got an offer in SF for ~150k, which would require me moving from a medium/high COL location.
My friend gets an offer in Huntsville, Alabama for ~90k.
Guess who has the higher cost of living adjusted salary? 90k in Huntsville is nearly 200k in SF, manly due to the "474% higher" cost of housing.
