Yah I get your point, just you said the key phrase.
"I would just prefer"
Another myth in capitalism is the commonly accepted (by the consumer) phrase that is often repeated, "the customer is always right." That is actually incorrect and misleading.
A correct phrase is "the customer is always right when there is competition to acquire the customer's money."
In this case, for developers of new housing units in Metro Vancouver, there is effectively no competition. If you decide not to buy, there's 100 or more people behind you lined up willing to. This is why capitalistic societies fall apart when there is no competition either through accepted anti-consumer business practices in an industry or monopolies.

Seems like a lot of people miss this point and that isn't exclusive to building developers. That is capitalism in general, the whole point of a business existing is to maximize profit. 
If you aren't then you're failing as a business and should become a not for profit...
