The increases in our real estate valuations have been ridiculous, and benefit no one unless they are leveraging the asset, or selling and leaving. The only thing I got for a 44% increase in value, was a higher tax bill. Several BC Liberals hold multiple properties, and cannot have helped but make a profit. It would explain the unwillingness to admit there was a problem to begin with, the repeated claims of not wanting to negatively affect property values that had climbed beyond reason, and the delay in implementing any measures to address the issue.
