Seems to me there is some good money to be made where high and low cost of living adjoin.
For example Vienna and Bratislava.
If nothing else, if you can work in the high cost of living place, and live in the low cost area.

There are quite a large number of Slovak students and assistants at my university.
It is also common for Viennese to use the Bratislava airport instead of Wien Schwechat because of the lower airport charge.
Those two cities are only a half an hour drive apart from each other. We now even use the same currency.
I don't do this because I love living right in the heart of Portland way too much though.
PS: Nit. It's about 650 miles from Portland to SJ.
I lived in SJ from 1992-2001. I knew my current boss from that time. Sometime around 2006, while I was living here in Oregon, he emailed me and asked if I might be interested in doing X for him.
I've gotten my last seven jobs through friends. The last two have been since I moved to Oregon. The last time I applied for a job where I didn't know anybody was 1985.
