Trying to renegotiate salary after accepting - how bad of an idea is it?

Hi all,I recently accepted an offer and am fine with the comp, but have now realized that I probably could have squeezed some extra $ had I tried. Is it a bad idea to call and ask respectfully (given that it's a HCOL city)? Only saying this because I believe what I was offered is in line with their LCOL city comp.Obviously I don't have much leverage, but could be worth a try. Just don't want to cause any unnecessary tension. Would appreciate any thoughts!
