At that point, the prices for their products goes up, so they can pay
the extra with their extra income. Meanwhile, the costs of the other
stuff goes down for everybody else, because the subsidies have ended.

That is, living in the middle of nowhere will be "subsidized" by those
people who buy the products produced there. That makes more sense, I
think.

Except that there would have to be a really massive increase in those
prices and salaries before the unrational actors that people are would
consider it to weigh in against cost of $stuff, much more than the actual
difference in cost of living.

Or perhaps the other way around: some people want to live far away
from many people, so the required increase in income would be less.
