Now that value delivered is disconnected from location, live somewhere inexpensive and push for your actual value. The only real requirement is US friendly timezones and 10+Mbps up speed internet. I'm sure there are 100s of cities in America that meet this expectation and would make you "rich" in that locale with a $200k TC .

Choosing to live somewhere for the "lifestyle" is in itself a form of expenditure for which your employer should neither be subsidizing nor penalizing.
