I have been venturing to Vancover BC for the better part of the last 30 years. In that time, there were waves of hippies selling in Kits and moving to the Okanagan, etc. Prices went up. What has happened in the last 15+ years is a noticable vacancy when you look at housing as you walk around. An influx of foreing money has been buying up and keeping properties vacant. This is happening all up and down the west coast. Some of that money may not be foreign, but a lot is. BC has attempted a lack of occupancy tax and it seems like it's not working.
