Ding ding ding. We have a winner. While I&#x27;ve never ever considered moving to Vancouver, I get recruiter emails several times a month for companies in Vancouver looking for Senior programmers to move there and only offering 80k to 110k CAD at the most. That is not nearly enough money to live in Vancouver. Enough to exist but not enough to live.<p>The problem as I understand it is that a ton of Vancouver&#x27;s housing is occupied by children of mega rich people from Asia (mostly China) who are rich enough to not care what rent costs which drives rent up for everyone else. There&#x27;s such a huge l mismatch between housing costs and salaries in Vancouver.
