That way a player making $7M per year would take home the same salary regardless of whether they lived in Texas or California.
That would certainly help eliminate the tax advantage that some teams have and further help level the playing field throughout the league.

Further to that the teams that make a lot of money should give the teams that make less money and have an internal cap that prevents them from spending to the actual cap money so that all teams have the same amount of money to spend on players and all teams can spend to the cap. That would further help to level the playing field between the teams that have more money than other teams.
