Amazon's page says they'll bring high-paying jobs though, so I don't think that would be a major issue.

Housing in Vancouver is so incredibly expensive that even a great low six figure salary of the sort an Amazon software engineer is likely to have is not really enough to purchase housing.
The median price for a condo in the City of Vancouver is approaching $1 million, and $3 million for a detached home.
