Very good point, however, you are pointing out a very extreme ownership - rental gap. The average homeowner is not selling a 3.2 million dollar point grey house, and $3200 is very low for a detached home.
Either way, the people who'd vote against the regulation of foreign home buyers based on their overinflated retirement plan is just another example of a generation willing to sell out their children financially. I try not to complain much, as I'm in a relatively good position at a reasonable time in my life, and a huge part of that is due to my family giving me every opportunity they could, but the baby boomer generation time and time again has financially fucked the next generation in the big picture. Yet one more prospective example to add to the list.
