Note that while the other offices don’t pay the same, my understanding is that Zurich pays similarly to SF / NYC / Seattle.

Yeah, but housing is also more pricey there.
It seems we are in a vicious cycle of high salaries -> higher housing costs -> even higher salaries -> even higher housing costs.
To prevent the same problems elsewhere, it might seem useful to not increase salaries too much. But the real problem is that housing cost depends too much on what the buyer can pay.
