Cause housing is 2x as much and so one would assume you get paid 2x as much as well compared to someone in the same position in Richmond. Is the cost of living compensation even close to that? Im just curious.
2 times? no chance.
1.5 times? possibly, when you look at higher-end jobs.

I agree job for job, it wouldn't be 2x as much... but it's the money being made in the area that matters, not job description.
but, but, we're talking job for job.
