$17.5 million? I’d like to sell some abandoned mansions to some rich Chinese for those prices.

Too wet to burn in Vancouver.

I’d sell my “mansion” to one of them for a measly 2 million!

I don't know but it looks like the “homeless” and other persons have run amuck in this building. Neglected or not, that kind of damage should never have happened otherwise. One reads of the distressing circumstances of the homeless in that particular city. The effete liberals wring their hands and say that "something should be done".

I just wonder IF it was the homeless and other street types that created that awful mess? If it was, then there is little hope. Little hope that if provided with decent affordable accommodation it would not happen to where they would reside. That is-utter neglect and deterioration.

I believe these are money laundering schemes, somehow. There are corrupt chinese who need to move their money out of China.

Very few people buying properties for teardowns in Vancouver, WA. And the town just doesn’t seem to attract the hyper rich.

I have read elsewhere of the reasons being money laundering. I also read of accounts of even quite expensive rentals being sought after without success for two years in Vancouver. This by ordinary Canadians. A whole row of apartments left empty, standing in some areas.

I confess have little knowledge of just how this benefits the Chinese. I know this where I live in Ontario. If one leaves a house empty for some time and it is vandalised, it is a financial disaster.

Can we get a drone at some Whitewater properties before the DNC nomination ?

On getting a drone to view the 230 acres of undeveloped land (at least it was). This called Whitewater Properties.

Only real person to tell the true story is Susan McDougal. Pardoned by President Clinton. She will never tell.

Was it one plot ? I thought it was a couple different ones.

And Susan Macdougal probably won’t talk because she knows she’ll die .... of chronic suicide.

This part always makes it harder to sell:
