And you believe it. You are having the wool pulled over your eyes. I have at least 20 people who are business associates, clients, etc who have got here in last 12 months with very deep pockets. Why don't you do some research with the real estate agents and see how many foreigners are buying up in the good areas.Many more are coming over.
Often the anecdotal evidence gives a truer picture than what you are getting from your obviously isolated corner of the world.
