Not . I just received a form that I am obligated to fill out as I am a homeowner in B.C. . The government requires me to prove my home is occupied and not owned by a speculator , this despite that fact that it is plain as day this is my official residence in all correspondence with the government and has been since the day we took possession. I notice some guy named Steven Emery got the sweet gig as Administer , Speculation and Vacancy Tax and all the perks and staff that go with it . I am going to google him to see his connection to B.C’s NDP and will be shocked if I don’t find any .

Over the long term, a moderate reduction since fines would bring in some revenue and people might not sleep around quite as much. I'm sure many still would, but not as widespread and as openly as now. They'd be more cautious about it at least.
Sure. If you don't count the wages and overhead for the thousands of government employees that are peeping into betrom windows to make sure they have a permit in triplicate to get some nookie.
Who says it would need to be so strictly enforced? Do we hire police officers to peep in each window every day to ensure we're not trafficking narcotics from our home? In principle, if a narcotrafficker keeps a low profile, the police would never know. The same would apply to fornication laws. Just don't have sex with anyone who might falsely accuse you of rape, don't repond to a sex ad online, don't have sex in a public park, don't film it and post it online, don't brag about it, and no one should know, right?
Why would we police fornication any more than we would narcotrafficking? If we don't spy in people's windows to catch would-be murderers, why would we spy for this?
I think just in certain areas I believe but if they are making money expanding it will only be fair .
It is supposed to be targeting vacant houses , But appears to be penalizing those fortunate enough to have dual residences .
