Well you can't afford a house in Vancouver either so why not go to the USA and earn more.

The spot with the best balance seems to be Seattle. High salaries and housing relatively affordable when compared to Vancouver or SF.

Seattle's housing market is going up really quickly, though. Last time I moved, I definitely noticed higher rents and more expensive purchase prices compared to a few years ago. It's not yet at the level of Vancouver, and far from SF/NY levels, but its trajectory isn't great.

Sounds like a good time to buy a house in Seattle then, if you can afford it.
