text: I suppose what you’re doing here IS easier than trying to rebut points that people actually make about:
  - A de-diversifying BC economy focused to a record degree on real estate/construction (>25% of GDP and growing).
  - A growing net loss of young people (and essential skills) from BC’s most expensive areas (and the service fee/ tax increases that will follow to actually retain people like doctors in the future).
  - Record household debt at a time of record low rates (and when rate increases might happen [or the CAD will plunge relative to the USD and purchasing power takes a larger hit]).
  - Growing evidence of systemic gaming by foreign $ that is being sheltered in BC real estate (condoned by governments to maintain the status quo of inflated real estate values).
  
  Despite self-interest from government and the majority of people, in the last year I’ve seen movements that acknowledge the truth in a lot of these points. Guess we’ll see what 2017 holds.
