South Asians are also doing the same thing in Surrey, Delta, Langley and to the extent Abbotsford. There are two McMansions a block away from my house for brown families to move because Langley property isn't as taxed high relative to other LM cities. They're hideous, and the entire front lawns are nothing but pavement. They use so much unnecessary space.
I'm aware that it's endemic across the Lower Mainland, but Richmond is the worst offender. The city doesn't do jack shit to fix the problem—even enabling said problem—so the Province has to intervene.
