Not surprising they'd consider this. The total compensation they offer now is because they compete for talent vs. other companies in the Bay Area. They probably figure the total compensation they can offer to someone working remote just has to be higher than the whatever smaller tech companies are in the city that person lives in.
That said, I'm interested in seeing what the other FAANG companies are going to do in terms of remote work. If Google for example starts allowing for more remote work, but doesn't make the same cost of living adjustments or their cost of living adjustments aren't as drastic, FB could fukk around and end up having some of their employees poached. Though I suspect other major tech companies will make similar CoL adjustments.
Google has already instituted WFH for the rest of 2020. They announced it a few weeks ago.
