So exactly how good for us is escalating BC's housing windfall?

Is there a limit to dependance on real estate churn? Should we ramp up marketing overseas so that housing is totally commodified? Are the over 20,000 sold and empty housing units in Vancouver a good thing? Should we be trying harder to emulate China with it's over 60 million sold and empty housing units?

We are only the third least affordable city in the world to purchase a house vis a vis income.  Is displacing Sydney and Hong Kong a worthy goal?

The government  has already made taxation exemptions for students and those on a working visa. Who else should we be building homes and designing communities for?

Endanger the housing windfall. Well,  vested interests cannot have it both ways. Foreign ownership cannot be such a small percentage  and not responsible for price and demand, and suddenly  now large  enough that a tax endangers demand and price.
