Why should they not? Do you check the citizenship for buyers of other products?
Are other products millions of homes that sit empty while we're in a housing crisis? No, so that's not a valid argument is it? It's ridiculous that some jackass in Canada or China or where tf ever can own a whole house here and never step foot inside of it.
Build more homes. Don't complain about someone conning a rigged system, complain about the system that is rigged.
Also you are being hyperbolic. You are citing the worst example as if it were typical. Chances are you know P.R.s who don't have citizenship yet. Are people who have been legally living here for who knows how many years not allowed to own property? And what about inheritance?
I mean, if you're the type to bend over and take it because the system is rigged just say that next time.
If you mean I don't support your legalized anti-asian bigotry then yes.
Hey so if land is bought by someone who is a P.R. and that person becomes a citizen does the land ownership become a non-ass rape instantly or does it propagate at under the speed of light or does it vary as a function of the density of the medium? What if a citizen who has spent 99.9% of their life abroad buys the land is it contaminated or not? If so what exactly is the line? If a 50 year old citizen who spent 26 years of their life abroad buys the land does it become less haunted then if a 24 year old + 1 day bought it (who had never been abroad)? How many units of haunting does land have? Do you have a NIST certified measuring tool?
I want to know exactly how the land is altered based on the piece of paper of the owner. If we are going to be bigoted let's at least be pseudoscientific about it.
I don't support what they tried to do in Florida and nothing I said indicates otherwise. I don't waste time on people like you anymore. I thought we left this childish bullshit behind on reddit but I guess not. Go waste someone else's time with your intillectually dishonest ranting.
Absoutely nobody is talking about the braindead theoretical situation that you're pushing. People that don't live here/aren't citizens shouldn't be able to own homes and keep them empty for years. Period. Draw whatever inane conclusions you need to in order to digest that because I'm done with you.
Don't let the door hit your bigoted ass on the way out
