The author published very sound information and reasoning with facts to support his argument, and why the greenbelt 'red herring' argument blaming government is false. What I don't understand is why there is any resistance to the foreign buyer tax. If there are no foreign buyers then it doesn't hurt anyone, and if there are then we collectively get 15% as a bonus, as in Vancouver. The resistance is from greedy self-interest real estate agents profiting handsomely with lucrative fees by basically doing nothing as houses are selling with little effort, and the government and the town mayors (Scarpiti-Markham, Tory- Toronto) collecting huge land transfer taxes and fees, and not want to upset their buddy developers or older folks with house equity. The higher the price,more for agents, govt, developers. They don't give a damn about the young who can't afford decent housing, only their own pockets. Its a win-win, except for foreign buyers & real estate agents.
