I don't know much about the legal aspects of international agreements like that, but is real estate considered an investment vehicle like e.g. bonds and stocks? You'd think there should be some exceptions, since real estate is enabling local communities, and you know, provides shelter for people to live in.

Vancouver is tight and they aren't building/aren't allowing more building in the immediate area. Housing is for people to live in, but far too many have been speculating.

There is a lot of building happening in Vancouver right now, mainly housing blocks being turned into high rises.
