> work remote in Seattle and love it (but my wife has to RTO, so we still need to be here). But I guess if someone isn't great at math, an LCOL city is probably a better choice anyways, since they don't have to think so hard about the math and can justify their choices with simple click-bait-style narratives.

So exactly how does it make more financial sense to live somewhere that is more expensive than somewhere much less expensive making the same money?

What’s the mortgage on that 2 million dollar home compared to mine?

And I’ve been to Seattle a number of times. That’s where my employer’s headquarters is located. It’s a dreary place.
