Well, maybe "Many" of the "great prospects" will avoid Vancouver.  But that doesn't mean they will avoid Canada...or BC.  Heck, many avoid US downtown areas--even the congested High-tech "campuses"--where their employers are headquartered.  They work from home!  They can find a nice $400,000 home just one hour or so away from Metro Vancouver in the Fraser Valley. 

Come one, come all.
