“$200,000 won’t buy an imported plastic communist Chinese dog house in Palo Alto/Silly-Con Valley.

at least not since so many imported plastic communist Chinese dogs have been buying up the (real) houses there”

All of the numbers are national figures, so I used $200K to keep it consistent. My guess is that the Chinese and the Indians stick out a bit more, even though they account for smaller dollar amounts, in total, than the Brits, Canadians and Hispanics. And in terms of personal encounters, I expect people can’t really differentiate between Chinese and Indian immigrants (green card holders and foreign-born US citizens) and actual foreigners (i.e. tourists), whereas the Brits and Canadians blend in, and nobody really thinks of Hispanics, whether legal immigrants, illegals or non-immigrants, as uitlanders.

All
Mostly true. But the Chinese are very noticeable because of the sheer numbers of houses they’re buying up. Also, entire cities are turning Chinese - communities which until recently had few or none. The Indians from Asis are mostly ( not entirely) in one town but the Chinese are now the largest group or nearly so (and increasing in quite a number of communities that were formerly much more Caucasian/Latino/whatever. Also, as others have noted too, many houses are being gobbled up by Chinese still in communist China , often for all cash and sight- unseen ( tho the realtors now pick them up at the airports for quick buying tours, they reportedly often buy several houses in a single day’s looksee before flying home again). Latinos are mostly priced out of the market and many are being forced out along with many black people and even more caucasian workers who can’t afford to stay. One bedroom apartments now 3000 to 4000 a month. California’s loss is Texas’ gain ( plus several more ststes).
