Why would your remote location with a lower cost of living(I'm assuming, at least for housing) mean you should make more?

The more remote the location, the higher the cost of non-housing things are. Shipping in groceries to Yellow Knife costs more than shipping groceries to Toronto, even though Toronto's housing prices are significantly more.

Generally people would rather live in a city, so companies offer higher pay and possibly other benefits like 2 weeks on/2 weeks off.
