DRE:
You are partially correct. The problem lies with the government policies that have jacked up the price of housing in this province. Only a small fraction of the province of BC has dwellings on it. The rest is crown land that the government is hording and loaning out to mining and forestry. Lack of cheap land drives prices up. I am certainly not dodgey or otherwise an unfit person just because I cannot afford the cost of a mortgage. I would have to make $100,000 a year to be able to afford a home in Kamloops. How many single parents make that kind of money??? I am forced to rent from the "system". On top of this you and OLEG are correct, most Landlords are working stiffs such as myself who happen to be lucky enough to have bought when prices were low, inherited or won their properties. Most are idiots who think that because they are landowners, their shit doesn't stink!
