Canada to ban foreigners from buying homes

That doesn't only exist in Victoria and that busy-body group isn't only about building and housing. They are active against many things. I live in California and they complain about people walking down the street, water restrictions, lifting water restrictions, cleaning your driveway with water, not being able to use water, it goes on and on.

It does touch on building, but it's mostly about, "NOT IN MY BACKYARD!"

There’s a certain street in SF across from a shopping mall where there are fatal accidents involving pedestrians every year. Consequently, the city planned on building a crosswalk. Well, the NIMBYS blocked it because it would ruin their view.
