This is essentially what Delaware C-Corps do in order to avail themselves of regional regulations.

From the article:

"Zuckerberg said Facebook will monitor adherence by checking where employees access its VPN. Facebook also uses its own apps' to track employee locations"

Allegedly because:

"Employees who attempt to wiggle around those compensation adjustments will be subject to “severe ramifications,” he said, as the company needs to account for employee locations to avoid violating tax laws."

This would be a spectacularly bad idea. Renting a PO box (or other front address) in a high cost location such as SF or NYC is going to open you up to tax liability there. At the same time, your actual legal state of residence is also going to want their share. You might get lucky, with your state of residence giving you credit for taxes paid in another state. But that’s not a given. Federal plus multiple states tax returns are a PITA.

But the biggest reason not to do it is that you’re presumed to be local: How many times are you going to “enjoy” paying walk up airfare from Raleigh Durham to SF because you need to give an in-person presentation the next day and you were assigned because you’re the only person on the team who isn’t remote?

Generally speaking, trying to scam the taxman unless you wealthy enough to hire people to find loopholes for you is a really, really bad idea.

With all the spying^H^H^H^H^H^Hdata mining Facebook does, I think they can figure out where their employees are located.

Or maybe virtual airbnb with onsite vpn ip per unit in the residential area split across different employers?

bundle that with a VPN as well.
