I grew up in Vancouver, went to high-school there, whet to UBC there. My family is in Vancouver. The majority of my friends are in Vancouver. I own real-estate in Vancouver. I eventually want to move back to Vancouver. I can safely say I love Vancouver. However, I currently live in Seattle.
> "it is hard to find software developers ... to work in ... Vancouver"
Plain and simply, even though software developers make some of the highest salaries in Vancouver, the salaries are relatively abysmal. It would be an effective 50% pay cut for me to move to Vancouver.
The housing crisis is a problem, but its not one that effects the lack of talent in Vancouver. Vancouver's almost only tech talent problem is the lack of competitive salaries.

- briandear 10y agoI saw a senior Rails contract job in Toronto that was paying $40 per hour and a mid-level Rails Dev at $15 per hour. I find that rather hilarious as well.
