Vancouver’s growth just hit pause—B.C. lost population for the first time since 1951.

Developers are stuck—no buyers, no financing, no builds in sight.

Multi-family projects rely on 60–70% pre-sales, but without buyers, the supply chain’s stalling fast.

Immigration once drove demand—now it's cooling fast.

Some want the foreign buyer ban eased, others say slow growth helps affordability catch up.
