“because to live where your company is you need to be paid $200K/year”

How do people live in these areas without making $200k/year?

They cannot, that is the reason you need to pay that much to work for you.

So nobody lives in these areas that makes under $200k/year?

Even the janitors?

I don't know, but if they live there, I think they have it that good.

It is more (way more) probable that they just commute far enough away from there to have lower housing cost
