And to think that I thought the Vancouver real estate market was crazy back in 2005...

This story is very relevant to tech. As much as I would love to, I wouldn't even think about locating a new business or office in BC today. And I'm sure I'm not alone. Attracting and retaining good employees is just too difficult when housing is more expensive than San Francisco - in a city where pay and buying power is much, much lower.



It's not more expensive than SF, don't read reports look at prices. If you work in tech SF is a lot more expensive than Van.
