Dear Editor:
WITH LEADERSHIP ANSWERS ARE SIMPLE
As to our housing ‘crisis’ in Vancouver , may I suggest a simple resolution? Track where the money came from to purchase these homes and if the purchase funds are illicitly gotten as in Chinese criminals laundering their funds through third cousins etc and Hells’ Angels profiteering in real estate from their dope-dealing activity then expropriate all those properties backdating 20 years and put them back on the market for legitimate immigrants and the at-risk-of-extinction Canadian Vancouverites.
Vacant homes would no longer dot our landscape and our neighbourhoods would become alive (and healthy) again.
Taking a stand against money laundering requires one little element in play: Leadership.
