Silly, silly, silly.

It is just silly to argue that Vancouver is somehow facing the problems of a high density city, given the news headlines in Vancouver, this year, in 2017:

"Vancouver has the highest proportion of empty, underused homes in 35 years"
"Number of empty homes in Vancouver hits record high"
"Data shows 98% increase in empty homes since 2001"
"New census counts 25,502 unoccupied homes in Vancouver, for 15 per cent jump over 2011"

And do you know what, editors?

This silliness in your newspaper today is what you get when you avoid the elephant in the room, which is the impact of the billions and billions of dollars of overseas money flooding in.

See, if instead you started your editorial decision-making with that key, central mechanism front and center, you would not be left with egg on your face for publishing silliness such as Vancouver facing a high-density problem (roll eyes).

Vancouver faces an overseas-billions-flooding-in problem. All else is secondary to it.
