Governments have badly failed cities such as Vancouver.     We how have squished living spaces - for goodness sake, now lane houses??    Having to take in tenants to help out with available accommodation?    Neighbors who can't speak one word of English?    Was the governments and immigration depts asleep during the last 10 years?     We have stressed and costly medical more than ever, jammed transit, and unaffordable housing for hard working citizens of this country.     Why was one ethnic (Chinese) strongly favored?    Yes, it was driven by false assumptions that rich foreigners buying up our land and housing would benefit everyone.   The result?  A change in the landscape of this city - now an Asian Chinese city.   And still fueled by real estate interests seeking rich foreign bidders - most hiding income and paying little taxes - in their country or to Canada.    Yes, governments and Revenue Canada have failed us.
