In answer to Tom FletcherB次元官网网址檚 question B次元官网网址�?B次元官网网址� (Opinion, oakbaynews.com).

I would assume his thinking is if you are not here you shouldnB次元官网网址檛 have to pay for it, even though you might need it on occasion. That might seem fair in a resort community, which clearly Victoria is not.

As a permanent resident I donB次元官网网址檛 want to see my tax share increase because apartments that could be filled with full time residents who pay income tax to this province, sales tax and support local business year round donB次元官网网址檛 have a place to live. It just seems common sense.

This makes me wonder what FletcherB次元官网网址檚 real point is here. Just another chance to snipe at a government whose policies he clearly doesnB次元官网网址檛 support?

It is not as if the last government did our citizens any favours when it comes to policies, or really, lack thereof regarding speculation in the real estate market.
