(continued from above...)

When a city has 17 percent of its homes bought by overseas millionaires arriving mainly from China, year after year, then if those families are much richer than the average local worker (they are - much, much richer), one SHOULD see two things happen, one can predict two things one SHOULD see. And you do see them.

One thing you SHOULD see happen is skyrocketing of house prices (and yes we see that), since a rich slice of newly arriving millionaires buying 17 percent of homes a year will put upward pressure on a limited-quantity commodity (that is just basic math and economics).

The second thing you should see happen is massive increases in the proportion of kids at public schools with facial features consistent with the mentioned source. And talk to old teachers in Vancouver and Richmond, they saw this in recent decades, 5 percent then to 10 percent then 25 percent then 50 percent then over 70 percent in many public schools in the popular neighbourhoods.
