Good point.  We already have about 20,000 sold and empty housing units in the CoV, and an estimated 60,000 in metro Vancouver to satisfy demand for housing as a commodity or a bank for overseas earned.sourced money.

You have to ask who are we building our cities for? China has 60 million sold and empty housing units - is this the model we want to emulate?  With a pending Free Trade deal with China,  building more and more sale condos will simply be snapped up by overseas demand.

I agree with density...but it needs to include mandated high levels of new build rental density. If the affordability ship has sailed - at least working families should have a rent option.
