> Can you go remote within commute distance of the office and keep your salary?

Yes. I know somebody working remotely about 10m driving from the office.

To keep your salary you'd need to stay in the SF bay area, which is defined according to country lines.

_county_ lines? How far does it go?

I don't know the boundary of the SF Bay Area region. It is based on some US designation. Once you leave the region around an office you become a part of some general state-wide designation.

This has some failure cases, with some weird places being included in regions like NYC while some other places where people really do commute to NYC (though it is extremely far) are excluded. I don't actually know anybody who has been impacted by this, but clever Googlers made a pretty compete map of all of counties in the US and their pay region once the tool for getting salary information for proposed moves was available.
