There was a ton of anti-Chinese bashing because they were seen as being the cause of empty homes, and this issue was linked to the housing crisis in Vancouver.

There was a ton of anti-Chinese bashing because they were seen as being the cause of empty homes, and this issue was linked to the housing crisis in Vancouver. But looking at the examples of empty homes, I doubt that the South Surrey place for example was owned by a Chinese owner. It would be interesting to see statistics. Also, a few hundred or even thousand homes rented to non-groups is hardly going to ease the tight vacancy rate in Vancouver. The housing issue has more to do to poor urban planning.
