And naturally it is affecting people who were likely not the intended target of the tax.

Obviously enforcement is going to be a key issue on this. The BC government has already seized control of the Real Estate Board back because agents weren't self-regulating themselves as they had promised to do, shocking no one except the Christy Clark apparently. The second article goes back to what Millertime was saying and what Flash and I agreed with that making the tax retroactive was a hamfisted cash grab.
