Are you on MLS? Base house price west of Cambie is $2M (and it goes soooo much higher). Base house price in the rest of Vancouver is $1.5M. Base house price in Burnaby is now $1M. In Poco/Coquitlam/Port Moody you can find a few 'gems' for about $800k. I think the person you were responding to was pretty much spot-on.
I make about 100k. I've had job offers for Quebec that are 100k. Seriously - there's absolutely no payscale advantage or allowance for living in Vancouver. And provincial taxes in Quebec aren't much different at that tax bracket either.
