It's none of the company's business how an employee gets to work. It's just not.
The company should compensate the employee fairly or well for the COL in the area the job is. That's it. It's not their job to worry about how the employee gets to work.
Other than allowing/encouraging WFH where it makes sense the company shouldn't try to tell the employees how to live.
I disagree. If a company chooses to NOT be in a huge city, yes. But if they are in a city just to flex with the address, and basically noone actually lives there (which is a very big thing here), then yes it is their responsibility
Then they can pay their employees more for the trouble as a whole. Which is what generally already happens for employers in high cost of living areas anyway.
