The problem with your post is that it is based on a false premise.

You pretend that Vancouver's housing problem cannot be narrowed down to offshore money.

You are wrong. Vancouver's housing problem IS from overseas money. It is the only - the ONLY - explanation for how house prices in a city can get to forty times the average annual local income.

And it is the only - the ONLY - explanation for how so many public schools can go from under fiver percent to suddenly being over 70 percent, of students with facial features consistent with Chinese ancestries.

For crying out loud, open your eyes, and ignore the propagandist nonsense that the real estate shills and their government puppets are trying to sell you...
