Assuming the same job's quality, a possible answer is "because to live where your company is you need to be paid $200K/year"
That presumes an interest in your survival...
How do people live in these areas without making $200k/year?
They cannot, that is the reason you need to pay that much to work for you.
So nobody lives in these areas that makes under $200k/year?
Even the janitors?
I don't know, but if they live there, I think they have it that good.
It is more (way more) probable that they just commute far enough away from there to have lower housing cost
