,B.C. NDP Housing Critic David Eby says examining income tax data is the key to figuring out how much foreign money there is in Vancouver’s real estate market.
“If you’re not paying your worldwide income tax in British Columbia and you’re buying $3 million homes, where’s the money coming from?” he said in an interview with BNN.

The B.C. provincial government currently tracks citizenship, an approach that Eby calls inherently flawed.
Eby points to a new report by MountainMath which shows nearly 10% of homes in Metro Vancouver report incomes that are lower than their shelter costs.
