> pricing relocation into or out of e.g. SFBA at zero is another conversational gambit popular with the out-of-touch. You don't teleport.

I think this is missing the point.

The target audience for remote jobs that pay $200K does not overlap with the target audience of people interested in working in SFBA at FAANG-level compensation.

If someone is interested in relocating to SFBA, they should do that and get a job there.
