Langley’s mayor, Jack Froese, has declared himself neutral on Metro Vancouver’s new tax on foreign real estate buyers, preferring to take a wait-and-see approach. He said: “As far as the tax goes, it’s too early to tell if that’s a good thing or not. I’m pretty neutral on it.” He also added that foreign buyers haven’t affected Langley in the same way as some neighbouring municipalities, saying: “We aren’t seeing places left empty, however, certainly the pressure that’s happening in points west – Vancouver, Richmond – are pushing people this way, so it has a domino effect.”
