I have heard this...not from an article, but from actual human beings involved. The real estate numbers are available to anyone who wants to look them up and they relate to the same issue (in a general sense, people are giving the USA the finger...in response to Trump giving then the finger).

This one did NOT start in 2016.....
"US home purchases by foreign buyers dropped a staggering 36 percent between April 2018 and March, from $121 billion to $77.9 billion, according to a new report from the National Association of Realtors. "
That is great news!

Less pressure on the housing market, especially in high COL areas.

I've lived in San Francisco for over a decade and I've never heard or read about any homeless people high on drugs attacking anyone. Some do drugs, sure. Some panhandle, of course. But strung up on drugs and attacking bystanders - almost never happens. Homeless not equal dangerous.

Except the murder RATE there is about 4x lower than those other areas and is generally comparable to Canada.

So when confronted with facts and data you do your best Trump impersonation and just start throwing crap in the air. Please note, I'm insulting Trump here so spare me the defense of your horrible thread and posts by calling me a Trumpee blah blah blah.

College students in this country struggle to pay for their education but let's bring in more foreigners and drive up the costs?

It is certainly not great news when many home owners find themselves underwater with their mortgages. Its weird all bad news are hailed as "great news".
