If house prices in Vancouver did go down wouldn't that just create more demand from all the people that work in Vancouver but live elsewhere, reducing the the amount of houses for sale and increasing prices?

They need to increase urban density, like along the Canada Line route. That line can use WAY more condo towers.
The problem is with hippies who require X amount of green space per sqft of living space. Our ratio is way higher than other cities. Yes it creates green space but it also caps the height at which we can build, adding to the problem.

14372 MULHOLLAND DRIVE: The Fast and The Furious: the circular Hollywood house with the pool, where Paul's cop buddies have set up a temporary police HQ (and which they mention is "the house Eddie Fisher built for Elizabeth Taylor"), is probably atop the Hollywood Hills, between Bel-Air and Sherman Oaks.
