I believe that depends on the company. Facebook? Sure, I think I saw an article about that for Facebook. Other places? Maybe not. Often times, there's plenty of places that are _totally_ within commuting distance, but really aren't. Do you think Facebook would lower someone's wages for living in Davis rather than Palo Alto or San Jose?

> Do you think Facebook would lower someone's wages for living in Davis rather than Palo Alto or San Jose? Yes of course. You only think that would be surprising because until now companies can tailor salaries to the office location, based on the reasonable assumption that most people will live nearby, and the annoyance of commuting long distances will roughly cancel out the lower cost of living. As soon as the annoyance of commuting is removed they will definitely take into account your cost of living.
