No kidding lol. I love how all the politicians are trying to spin this as "job creation"... sorry but I don't think a bunch of low-wage retail and service jobs is really helping the economy in the long run. Just adds to job statistics which help nobody.
Vancouver has been/will continue to experience "brain drain" for as long as this housing market remains inflated. Simply because the same people who are smart/skilled enough to secure well-paying jobs in Vancouver are the same ones who leave, knowing they can enjoy a much better lifestyle in pretty much any other part of the country. Six figures in Vancouver doesn't take one very far, whereas the same income literally anywhere else means you are doing quite well...
