Fact check: BC Greens housing plan

Thomas Davidoff and Tsur Somerville, professors at the UBC Sauder School of Business, weighed in on the B.C. Green Party’s housing plan for a Vancouver Sun article. Somerville said the suggestions would generally lower property transfer taxes for condo buyers.

Davidoff said the changes would lower the wealth of many single-family homeowners but improve affordability for those who don’t own homes.
