Greed and bad policy by the provincial governments, the federal governments, our city fathers, by those who saw stars in their eyes when their $25,000 home purchase in the 1970s became worth a million...til they realized that their children would have to pay a few million for anywhere to live....and a failure to restrict foreign and investment flipping of real estate have made the City of Vancouver unaffordable for many of its residents.

What upsets me  most is that some to much of the overseas investment in property is by individuals and corporations who profited from repressive and inhumane governments elsewhere......China.....Indonesia....you name the corrupt repressive regime.....and now these criminals  are looking for a safe place to land...with their ill gotten gains..... pricing everyone local out of the market.

Thanks Sam Sullivan and the NPA, thanks Gordon Campbell and Christie Clark, thanks Harper and Trudeau Jr, and Mayor Moonbeam Robertson and Vision Vancouver.
