“This should cover cities nationwide. there’s plenty of other reports just like it:”

No, the article covers no price/cost of living facts for the ten cities with the fastest growing salaries, and it is not possible to extrapolate any cost of living facts for them from the skimpy and largely ancedotal facts about the cities covered in the report you cited. Salaries alone do not a cost of living rise create, when other economic factors, including increased local competition, can mitigate them in some economic sectors, and some sectors, like housing, have factors which can retard or expand prices without regard to salaries.

Your cost of living claim - specifically for the ten cities with the fastest growing average salaries - seems logical but has no factual legs; so far.

The original aerticle doesn’t take into account the cost of inflation is reducing the wages to nothing more than ost of living adjustments either.
