Your comment is racist - and certainly unCanadian.

What on earth does someone's race have to do with the housing market? Why does a person of Chinese decent have any less of a right to a) live in Vancouver, b) buy a house, c) have some economic success, d) drive an Audi?

I'm sorry you're upset about the state of housing in Canada, I really am. Fortunately for you - most desirable cities in the Canada ( and the World ) have Chinese residents so you wouldn't be happy living there anyways - all those signs in Chinese, and the Audis! Oh the humanity!

and you have to do that once... big deal.
