Been going on for decades. No one seems to care. No candidate has ever bothered to notice, and frankly the people pick other battles, like naming post offices. They don’t care either. I think we know we’re done and missed the bus actually.

I'm a bit torn on this -- on the one hand, foreigners buying up property (even 7%) means that land is being owned by non-Americans. Yet those lands are still American, they can't become Japanese etc.

And also, I'm going to take a guess that the foreigners have actually lost money (just like the Japanese lost money on all the firms they bought in the 80s).
