Curious are you paid less with comparable cost of living of american peers I.e. are you comparing with NY or Bay Area salaries or median American for same skills?

If my CoL is higher living in the Bay Area I would then expect to be compensated for that , and that seems fair .

Even when paid higher the quality of life and net savings people living in high CoL areas have are considerably less than in low CoL so am not sure it is better to have the higher compensation
