What is the typical rent and the typical salary (For developers) in Vancouver?

• neilk 11y ago
  Rent in the downtown core is about $1700 for a 1-bedroom. Developers can do decently well in Vancouver, especially if you are employed by a foreign company. I am not sure about typical salary for developers, but I'm doing okay. So, compared to San Francisco, for a good developer, Vancouver is slightly better. However, for everyone else in Vancouver, it's a disaster, since the median income is much lower. This is why Vancouver is actually less affordable than San Francisco, for the general population. http://globalnews.ca/news/1098143/vancouvers-housing-prices-2nd-most-affordable-in-the-world/ http://globalnews.ca/news/1098143/vancouvers-housing-prices-...
