There's a HUD study that basically says the same thing. That people who receive housing vouchers and live in HCOL areas have better outcomes than people who live in LCOL areas. Not just because income to housing ratio is better, but also because of better education and job opportunities in high density areas.

You also have the advantage of percentage based employer retirement contributions and health insurance costs being relatively similar, so you're getting more benefit from higher pay.
