The decline of Vancouver

So, the salary is still half SF, and 2 hrs away w/ TN Seattle pays %90 SF. And cheaper housing.

LA is highway culture, SF the city is transit culture.

I've been away from SF for a couple years now but I have a hard time believing that the average programmer is being paid ~200k. The salaries the GP listed seem about 80% of SF salaries to me.

Transit culture? Is that the idiotic 'I love sitting 3 hours a day in a bus going up and down 101 from my home to my employer in the South Bay and back'?

Seriously, the public transit is only great in San Francisco if you're only comparing it to the rest of California.

There are employers inside SF itself. If you live in suburbs, you need a car, just like Vancouver. There are many people who just live & work in SF and use transit the majority of the time.

Remember the currency conversion. 1 CAD = 0.8 USD.
