>the large number of homes which are owned by foreigners and are vacant. I'm not aware of a concrete way of measuring this.

I saw an interview on CBC about this and the person interviewed simply said "Look up." He pointed to row after row of full condominium buildings with only two or three lights on in each building.

I do the same test in my fully occupied 40 unit townhouse in Vancouver at night. At any given time, most of the lights are out.

I just wish the media didn't try to spread so much FUD just to sell views.

Why would you look if you know it's full and you live in it?
