Do you think Vancouver is getting some of the tech industry sprawl out of Northern Washington?

I mean it's difficult to get work visas unless you have an essential skill, and companies don't want to hire people without interviewing them in person. With Washington so close, companies can interview highly skilled individuals without spending a fortune on airfare.

Conversely, you're not going to get a lot of unskilled immigrants and you need to compete with the wages of your neighbour. It almost seems like the gentrification problem would be terrible.
