This practice doesn't make any sense other than business sense. Lower cost of living? That would only make sense if we spent all of our money on food and housing. Programmers make more money, they can cover more needs. The best way to say how unfair it is, is to ask the following question: after covering all basic living cost, will it be the same financial impact to go from place A to B, like it is from place B to A? And don't get me started on diverse areas within single city, which is still considered the same place for an employer.
