Companies pay people less in LCOL areas because the local competing offers they receive are lower and they don't have to pay as much to outbid the competition. Not because they actually care about how much you're paying in rent. If two suburbs are in the same metro area, then they are part of the same local hiring pool so there is no reason to offer different compensation based on the average local rents.
