I heard Vancouver is almost as expensive as SF - at least housing. Is that the case?

- mahyarm 10y agoIn SF, house prices and rent are pretty close. In Vancouver they are disconnected. Equivalent rent can be about half or lower of what the mortgage would cost. Even though the average house is about $4 million now. The bigger problem is the relatively low wage. And on top of that everything is more expensive in Canada. Seattle is definitely the economic sweet spot, and I would live there if it wasn't for the weather and the companies I can work for.
