    Why pay someone $200k/yeae when someone will do the job for $80k/year?

    Assuming the same job’s quality, a possible answer is “because to live where your company is you need to be paid $200K/year”

      “because to live where your company is you need to be paid $200K/year”

      How do people live in these areas without making $200k/year?

        They cannot, that is the reason you need to pay that much to work for you.

          So nobody lives in these areas that makes under $200k/year?

          Even the janitors?

            I don’t know, but if they live there, I think they have it that good.

            It is more (way more) probable that they just commute far enough away from there to have lower housing cost
