Great posts all over and so happy to see the trend changing. I think BC has a lot going for itself these days and we should expect a lot of growth in the years to come. What makes me happy is that the developers seem to be prepared for this and the huge amount of major projects in progress and far in the pipeline reflects that they are not going to sit idle and have the problem pile up.

I am sure that the growth will still overtake the number of new housing built, which is why cities should really look into the problem of vacant investment houses. Also, does it make federal sense to be bringing lots of these Syrian refugees to Lower Mainland, where country's economic growth is taking place but housing is scarce. I don't believe that we have any shortage of employees at Lower Mainland, so perhaps settle more of these people in other provinces in the first place and let them re-locate later once they have established themselves in Canada.
