everyone talking about the social housing, etc. is really just a red hearing. the question everyone should be wondering about is this.
why is housing so expensive that our real economy (jobs, workers, etc.) cant afford to live anywhere near their job? considering housing prices should correlate to the economy of the city, why does it not? our economy isn't based on much, other than perpetual construction and the service industry. there is more at play, and that is the real question. no one seems to be able to answer that, other than when someone finally did, but then everyone forgot. offshore money & money laundering. now that's the real issue.
maybe its time that if you're not a BC permanent resident for 6months+1, you have to pay 100% tax on any place you buy; maybe that will help.
