Vancouver tax is full of loopholes though and unlikely to change anything. Owners can simply hire phony renovators and keep changing their applications to forever wait for their renovation permits (and avoid the tax) or pretend the work isn't completed. There's many other loopholes, mainly involving strata-governed dwellers with non-rental bylaws who are exempt from the empty home tax a category guaranteed to have exploded in size since the tax was announced.
