Could this be the start of a big foreign ownership dump?

    If there’s a road to citizenship within 5 years I don’t see the problem as as bad

    It’s not as if you are forced to buy - you can also live on rent for a couple of years and save up in order to buy a house afterwards.

    Coupling it to citizenship is a good solution since it’s impossible for 1 person to have houses in more than 1 or 2 countries - and not have houses in countries that they are not related to at all just for investment

      Sometimes buying is cheaper than renting, but also allows the person to capture equity and build wealth. It’s exclusionary for a group of people who have been otherwise welcomed into society.

      Established residency I agree with. However, Citizenship is simply too high of a bar, and for some may be unattainable due to laws on not permitting dual citizenship.
