Hello Doug!

The difference between reporting on Vancouver real estate and on Donald Trump, is this.

It is both widely known, and the press reports it as such, and layperson posts largely reflect it as such, that Trump writes frequent petty tweets and that he and his family are still enmeshed in family business ventures raising conflict of interest concerns. In other words, the press reporting reflects reality.

Not so with Vancouver real estate. With it, the actual underlying phenomenon (overseas money skyrocketing prices over many years, in the hands of people from there who recently bought Canadian passports, not to be confused with "foreign buyers" who relatively are a tiny force) is RARELY or NEVER reported in many Canadian media outlets, and thus we have many post writers who claim that it is merely racism that drives talk of overseas money.

On Vancouver, there is an ONGOING disconnect between reality and reporting. And so I correct the latter in my posts.
