They shouldn't care how much it costs you to live, they should care if your work is worth paying you X to do it.
And if it was good enough to pay you X in city Y then it should be good enough for them to pay you X in city Z.
How does it hurt them if you have a little more left over at the end of the month? And why is it any of their business? If anything I would think it would be a net positive for everyone including the company.
That's silly. By that logic McDonald's should pay Montana minimum wage in Manhattan. Since burger flipping is so simple a country bumpkin could do it, why should you get more just because what buys you huge tracts of land in Bozeman buys you half a broom closet in Brooklyn?
I never said there was anything "magical" about it. If you're flipping burgers in a vegan village, you are probably going to make less than if you had the same job in a bustling city where people frequently eat out.

There's nothing magical about a remote job. If I will accept %10 less salary than you for the same job, they would be stupid to hire you over me.
Unless he's able to provide more value to the company in that job than you are.

Your an idiot for not going doe the 10% extra. You just made each of us worse off.
