Please, have you ever been to Vancouver or Seattle? Anyone who has ever been to any of these cities would never hold those opinions. Huge vacant houses with no one living in them, an entire sub section of the real estate industry that speaks mandarin but won't bother talking to any of the locals, schools that cater entirely to wealthy Chinese. The speculation tax is going to raise hundreds of millions of dollars, precisely because of mass foreign home ownership.

You'd have to be living under a rock to miss the signs of the times. Willfully ignorant, perhaps.
