That's not the point. Why would I pay Bay Area salaries for someone living in bumfuck Iowa? It's all about supply and demand.

What I don't get is why you would pay Bay Area salaries for someone living in Bay Area when you could get an equally good remote worker based in Iowa on the cheap. Like just don't hire in Bay Area at all.

While that may be true in the future, the talent pool in the Bay Area at present is undeniably better.
