I applaud this move. Your employer should not care where you live. If your job duties include working on location, then in practice it amounts to a de facto restriction, that you must live within a reasonable commuting distance of your worksite. If you work remotely, it shouldn't matter where you live (as long as it's within the US, there's probably a metric ton of extra paperwork when dealing with another country). To someone from the Rust Belt, a policy of "We'll only pay you $X if you move to an ExpensiveTechCity and spend a bunch of it on overpriced housing" translates to "We coastal elites are actively trying to keep all the wealth generated by tech in this handful of cities we like, screw the rest of the country, it deserves to stay poor."
