In hindsight, I was probably a bit brash to say that it was 'easy'. It's not average, but average people aren't buying million dollar+ homes these days unless they have the income to support the payments.
Engineers and project managers in many industries are at the low end of 100K. My industry, which is non-tech, pays those professions at that salary range. If you add in a premium for management or one of the large tech companies, you
could get into the 125-140K range.
Lots of hearsay on the interwebs about tech salaries in Vancouver, including on Reddit which tends to skew towards people in tech:

My parents' house in East Vancouver (typical Vancouver special) sold to a local tech worker under the age of 40 last fall. The buyer was a former resident of the West Side and had no partner on the title when the deal closed.
All anecdotes can be taken with a grain of salt, I suppose.
