Hey, Mr. Mason, WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? 

It was not many years ago Mr. Mason was busy shining a spotlight on racism, racism, racism as the key feature to cover on high home prices. 

And so, not many years ago, he drew to readers' attention that, in Vancouver, "the monster-house squabble has often been fueled by jealousy and RACISM". 

And, not many years ago, he gave voice to the concerned real estate agent who was welcoming the waves of money, arriving from China, by quoting the agent talking about conversations with Vancouverites: “I got a lot of, you know, how are my children ever going to be able to afford a home, here was an undercurrent of RACISM in A LOT of them." 

And, BACK THEN, this was Mr. Mason on rich foreigners buying homes "for their kids to stay in while they attended school here... To which I say: WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?". 

What is the PROBLEM? Well, you FINALLY pointed at it today! OVERSEAS MONEY flooding in and pricing out local workers!

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!?
