For what, exactly? How many dern fereners are buyin' all our condos?

I wasn't serious... rather semi-obviously. But jlo has posted statistics in the past that peg foreign ownership at less than 3%.

The rich foreigner myth is a bit of a media-driven lie, and the ones who do come aren't usually buying homes your average person could even think of affording (multi-millions).

Sadly I'd bet their new drug money theory has more grounding in reality than rich foreigners trying to buy Vancouver.
