While
the issue of the rich buying up all the living space and selling or
renting it back to working people and profiting from our poverty is
important, whether the condo owners are of European origin (maybe a few
generations back) or Asian origin (maybe more recently) is besides the
point.
The many comments against 'offshore' owners are hypocritical
and racist. The vast majority of occupants of this region came from
'offshore', either across the Atlantic or Pacific (and well before that,
across the Bering Strait).
Picking a scapegoat based on place of
origin, appearance, language, etc. is ignorant. The affordable housing
problem is caused by the disparity of wealth and power.
