Wholesome Goodness, your moniker masks your xenophobia.  Real estate has been bought and sold the world over by foreign nationals for centuries.  And as for laundering money, since when did that become a Chinese monopoly?  Guess there is nothing purer than a white christian Canadian of Anglo-Saxon heritage - we never take advantage of anybody or any situation.  If Vancouver or other Canadian "World Class" cities like to pretend as such, they need to learn to accept the dynamics that come with the territory.  How many Londoners, Parisians or New Yorkers are there who don't struggle with housing prices.  Not many is my guess.
