However, this is an area where the Gov can control and it does, for revenue purposes.

1. The Gov offers high wealth individuals (foreigners) easier access to citizenship. All they have to do, is bring in $5M. That means they have $5M to spend - and more often, they go out to buy properties.

2. Gov Not releasing more land to be developed.

What you guys don't get is, the Gov also make money in this policy:

The State gets Stamp Duty upon sale and then gets Land Tax annually on the rental and

The Fed Gov gets purchase tax by foreigners between $50k to $75k.
