    You thought wrong.

    Foreign home ownership makes up a relatively small part of our housing market. Focus on it is mostly a misdirection from the real causes of our cost-of-living problem which is home grown housing speculation and lack of investment in social housing. And even were foreign home ownership occurring at a problematic rate, that’s nothing in comparison to annexation of a country.

      Dunno. Vancouver’s pretty fucked for housing and that’s got 6.2% foreign ownership rate. I wouldn’t mind being able to have a shot at affording a home in my city.

      It’s not the ONLY reason housing is fucked but 6.2% isn’t nothing.
