The answer is because people get paid more so this leads to regional inflation, which in turn leads to pressure to increase wages.
A classic chichen and egg problem.
If the government thinks they are paying too much for services in 'the north' they should freeze their wages and over time inflation will do the rest. I don't think it is fair to simply cut wages.
