VREP #488 | Vancouver Housing Experts Go Toe To Toe (Part Two) With Erick Villagomez And Beau Jarvis
Description
The housing debate deepens as opposing voices tackle the thorniest questions in Vancouver's affordability crisis. In part two, UBC lecturer Erick Villagomez and Wesgroup CEO Beau Jarvis continue the dialogue with Adam & Matt, diving into Canada's $2 trillion capital shortage, foreign investment overcorrections, and whether investors are destroying or saving the city. The clash intensifies over speculation policies and Beau's explosive claim that strip malls next to SkyTrain stations are now worth more than their development potential. Where did we go wrong? Both examine alternative housing models and question where public money actually goes while confronting aging rental stock facing impossible economics. Can Vancouver's housing system function when the numbers don't work for anyone? Are real estate investors providing a service or destroying our city? And what happens when filtering theory meets displacement reality? Don't miss the conclusion of this revealing two-part conversation.
