'Affordable housing' is a political term that simply does not reflect reality. Generational buyers in Vancouver are being increasingly displaced in the housing market because they cannot compete with the capital accompanying newly arrive immigrants. For every generational entering the housing market, there are three immigrants arriving to do the same thing. The notion being promoted by Vancouver's Vision council is that everyone is entitled to live in the City in spite of the fact they can't afford it. The fact is that the cost of land and construction has already inflated to a point where it is virtually impossible to provide decent housing that has any chance of being purchased or rented at a cost bearable to the incomes earned by most generationals. Mr. Del Vicario is simply bemoaning the fact he cannot benefit even more from this inflation. Simply look at his numbers and ask yourself how generationals can afford million dollar plus pigeon holes
