It's a shame because there are some lovely neighborhoods in the areas on the map in the article, especially Shaughnessy.

The housing market in the area has become too irreparably damaged to recover. This speculative investment BS has left too many people unable to afford their rent, much less homes in the area.

It's not going to become a luxury ghost town but it is going to become unbalanced and dense in areas that don't need to be.
