You people should stop defending criminals. The real estate market has been fueled by the dirty and murderous Chinese, their gangs and corrupt officials. I say raise the foreign and speculation taxes to triple digits until we clean up this shit. This will fuel huge divisiveness and yes, racism. It's fucked up, and anyone defending this is a douche. We need this stopped and out of our country.End of story.

"The stately $17-million mansion owned by a suspected fentanyl importer is at the end of a gated driveway on one of the priciest streets in Shaughnessy, Vancouver’s most exclusive neighbourhood.
A block away is a $22-million gabled manor that police have linked to a high-stakes gambler and property developer with suspected ties to the Chinese police services.
Both mansions appear on a list of more than $1-billion worth of Vancouver-area property transactions in 2016 that a confidential police intelligence study has linked to Chinese organized crime."
