Yes, fair point. But it's a continuous spectrum surely, at least in my experience. I've worked for companies who won't pay for more than Y but will pay for top end IT kit.
In the case of the OP, I'd simply treat it like any other consideration (e.g. A longer commute, less parking, no local eateries...) It's a factor. I can't imagine it's the sole one.
