@billy112: take it from someone on the front lines (i.e. a young person with lots of health care education, high household income, and many young friends working as MDs): many of us would welcome measures to "soak the rich" (i.e. us) if it meant an end to policy-driven insanely high real estate prices. No one spends a dozen years training, for example, to be a medical specialist for the privilege of a nearly 2 hour daily commute to a $1.1M house in the burbs. Not when you can do much better elsewhere. 

And these regions absolutely need their young talent with essential skills to be putting down roots. Unfortunately for politicians, that puts them at odds with the bulk of the (older) electorate, who wants to preserve the status quo. 

At least the BC Liberals aren't campaigning with the slogan "families first" this time around.
