A somewhat narrow point of view. I can easily name 200 tech companies hiring in Vancouver and salaries are rising rapidly. There is also a lot of investment coming into tech. But the overall points are right. The true creative class has been forced out of the city and long term that is bad for the innovation economy. The lack of three and four bedroom housing at anything close to a reasonable price is largely the cities fault. It did not have to be this way. Developers design units as financial assets, and not as something for people, especially people with families, to live in. It is not too late/ Change zoning laws. Change taxation. Invest in a reinvigorated co-op movement. I would like to see Vancouver prices come down 50%.
