And how do you expect someone to make more money? Go have a heart to heart talk with your boss and expect him to side with you? Quit your job and go back to school giving you no income and upon completion still having no guarantee of landing a more lucrative job in a city with thousands going for the same position as you? Try to attempt night school and only seeing your spouse or kids for 3 hours a day for several years missing your kids take their first steps or first words?
Uphill battle or not, I'd rather say I owned and lost it than never owning it in the first place. I'm not forced to sell a place once I buy it. I may take a severe loss if the prices drop but I'd still have no reason to sell it as it's a place that's mine and one day I'll be able to upgrade to something better if need be.
Slaves may want to be free, but knowing the pain and suffering they personally went through would probably be more than enough to not want them to be a slave driver. They've experienced it first hand and know how shitty it is, why would they want to do it to others? If anything I could see them being vengeful towards the people that treated him like shit.
Foreign ownership doesn't need a ban it needs regulation with rules to prevent loopholes. We both know they're sneaking money out of their own country and putting it here and buying what they can to park it down. They don't care if they pay more than what it's worth...they care about making sure the money is here.
