Who is to blame for real estate prices?

A nice article here discusses what we should be focusing on to increase housing affordability and how we’re focusing on easy targets rather than the right ones. Honestly I laughed when I started seeing people blame illegal Chinese money for real estate prices and it’s funny when he mentions it. Note that Pavlov is a SFU Finance professor who wrote an affidavit used to support the foreign buyer tax in court so he can be seen as unbiased and educated.

He criticized the ‘Dirty Money’ report for being “ridiculous” in exaggerating the impact of laundered casino money.

“It’s such a small amount. This (has) nothing to do with the housing crisis.”

He described Mr. Eby’s attempts to sell a link between Metro Vancouver’s housing problems and Chinese criminal activities as a “politically easy” move that “resonates with voters.”

Strange cite from a purported third generation Canadian.

You using the same dumb arguments used by all real estate pimpers to defend selling property to offshore money. Go peddle it to Andrew Wilkinson, that drip could use your help.

Dope I stand corrected. Funny how easily people will blame race. Even after the foreign buyer tax prices kept rising so they got even more defensive and crazy. Now it’s illegal this and that without caring that 99% of people who buy Vancouver real estate are Canadian after all it’s easy to be racist but hard to use your brain and read statistics. It’s funny when the left most party is the one that is supported by racism.

Right Americans blamed immigrants for stealing jobs and causing crime and now were saying immigrants stole houses and are causing crime ( we even blame our drug problem on them despite the Hells Angels being white). Maybe the NDP and Republicans are sharing the same propaganda team.
