I’m totes down with blocking foreign buyers, for the same reasons as you. I just wanted to note that not every Chinese home buyer is a foreigner. Sounds like you were already aware of that. Awesome!

But they add cash value because the native seller now has whatever amount extra coming from a different economy. It will raise the prices of homes in the area as well. This will fuel growth.
The only problem I have with foreigners buying property here is that they are not in our economy they take any gains out of our economy. It increases the cost of living here without adding value.
