How much of the housing market has been affected by foreign investment and/or ownership? After Trump was elected all his Chinese friends that liked to congregate at Mar-a-logo decided real estate was a good purchase. Foreign ownership of U.S. property has been a growing problem that creates impossible market pressures for the working Middle Class.

These investors can easily be used in attempts to destabilize the Free World economy. Yes, as a strategy of economic war.
Wall Street, including foreign investors, is a huge issue when it comes to depriving Americans of the American Dream. These are HOMES to tax paying Americans, not simply real estate as a gambling chip in equity markets.
