Hello Larry Wallis,

I laughed out loud at your attempt at argument, where you wrote: "Anyone who has raised a family has been faced these issues across Canada."

Um, no, sir. Just no.

In the past two centuries, average house prices have hit multiple dozens of times the average annual local in exactly one - yes ONE - Canadian city, and that city is Vancouver, and it rapidly hit that mark in recent decades due to a flood of overseas money. It was NEVER that way before the overseas money started rolling in during recent decades.

Toronto is close, but trails Vancouver in the equation in question.

Further, sir, the OBVIOUS response, to your oh-so selective narrative, is to point out that no, not every multi-millionaire of Shanghai and Hong Kong and Beijing has ANY compelling "right" (roll eyes) to own a detached house in Vancouver!
