Once I saw Vancouver on the list, it made me question its validity. At least the Bay Area's prices are driven by actual jobs and not just foreign housing investments.

It goes to show how harmful the press can be in shaping the reputation of a city. Vancouver is a very popular destination for the rest of Canada and anyone who wants to move to Canada, not just foreign investors. It's more than foreign investment that's driving up prices. Also consider that high-tech companies in Vancouver are stingy wage-wise and think the city itself is a work benefit.

Is the press wrong that housing prices in Vacouver are exorbitant and mainly driven by foreign speculation?
