As usual I agree with you but the foreign buyers tax came to late to save  Vancouver west end and yes more should have been done.

A quote from the NP:
"In China and Hong Kong, foreigners are banned and locals restricted to one mortgaged unit and a second one only if they pay cash for it. The Swiss have a quota for foreign purchases and allow one unit as a second residence for their exclusive use. European countries often charge foreigners twice the property taxes they charge locals. In Thailand, foreigners cannot buy land but can buy condos, but only up to 49% per building. The United States does not restrict foreign housing, but keeps track and mortgages are difficult to get This will result in a catastrophe. If Canada does not stop foreign buying, or temporary resident buying, Canadian taxpayers and homeowners will pay an enormous, and potentially disastrous, price."
