our dollar is around .75 compared to US so isn't their buying power still better here even with a 15% tax? on top of that if this is all a haven for dirty money like people say, not sure if 15% is going to slow down anyone as they're overpaying for homes anyway. and i thought i heard somewhere laundering $ you only get 50% back so RE is a better option anyway?
maybe 50% isn't realistic...i think i got that from johnny depp's BLOW
