I have a letter on The Vancouver Sun’s website (online only, it would appear) replying to a ridiculous op-ed piece that blames the high cost of housing on “mass immigration.” My response is restrained in both tone and word count, but suffice it to say I disagree with the op-ed writer’s argument. To read my letter, click here and scroll down to the second entry, under the heading “Massive investment in affordable housing needed.”
Amazing how good the government is at dumping energy into researching the effects of immigration on real estate instead of just putting heads together and finally figuring out this housing issue. A wise and succinct letter! Good job 🙂
Ha, thanks Jan! Good seeing you guys the other day!
As long as the people buying houses are living in them, yes.
Hi Sandra,
Agreed. I’m all for clamping down on vacant properties, regardless of who the owners are.
