I don't think Maple Ridge is as white as that. Regardless it is still Asian money producing that effect in Maple Ridge and further out. As the property in Vancouver is bought up it drives what would otherwise be local buyers out to Maple Ridge and further. That in turn raises Maple Ridge prices and generates FMO leading to people scraping every nickle that isn't for food clothing etc. and putting it into a soul crushing mortgage they will be saddled with for 25 years. I know people who commute every day from eastern Maple Ridge and Squamish... because that's how far they had to go to be able to purchase a decent home.
