Joshua Gordon , David Ley and Andy Yan write a new study on the politics of housing affordability in Vancouver .

Gordon et al rebut big players in the Canadian development industry and their allies, whom they dub the “growth machine” These powerful forces are often guilty of “playing the race card” as an “ideological tactic” to stop the public from realizing how offshore capital and wealthy immigrants have contributed to astronomical house prices in Canada .

After the two taxes came into effect, the price of houses in the same parts of Vancouver fell by about one-fifth .

Authors take exception to Lauster and von Bergmann ’s claim that opposition to such price jumps came from “reactionaries” Authors recommend a novel idea for governments to go further in limiting foreign wealth in B.C. housing.
