Or maybe they could move them and give them a raise from all the savings found elsewhere.... Like rent, property, taxes and so on.

In Canada CN move their head office from Toronto to Calgary. They paid for the moves, gave everyone a one time extra bonus plus raises. They saved billions and not that many complained.

Are you talking about the CN railway whose HQ is in Montreal...?

Montreal wages are a lot lower than both Calgary and Toronto, too.
Possibly! But maybe remote work? Why not open that up?

Fly them to SF and buy them a month of housing if you're worried about the in-person-break-in phase: the result will pay for itself.
