If I deliver enough value to receive salary X, I don't see how my personal living arrangements factor in. There are stories of Google engineers vandwelling in company parking, by that standard they should have their salaries reduced.

I'm sure that if one of your directs asked for a raise because they moved in to a more expensive apartment you would politely refuse.
