They are not placing all blame on foreign soeculative real estate investors, but are assigning some blame, which i think is fair.

Many countries require some form of either citizenship or residence in order to qualify as a real estate buyer.

I didn't mean to suggest that foreign speculation was without blame.

I just wanted to make it clear that that isn't the only, or even biggest, culprit in the current housing crisis.

How would you prevent new housing stock from being similarly bought up?

Or Switzerland.

And many south east asian countries!
