Foreigners buying houses...

This was a really good episode!

Regarding the no foreigners home seller...it does sound like this guy is doing this for lousy racist reasons which isn't cool at all...however, there are certain areas where too much foreign investment has fucked with local housing prices to the point where local people, making local wages, are for the most part unable to afford to buy anything. This happened in Vancouver, BC (and the situation is improving since they introduced a heavy foreign investment tax), and now it's happening in Seattle. It really sucks.

Bee Tee Dubs Seattle is still affordable for all the WHITE TECHIE MEN who make six figures programming shit for Amazon, and minorities are being pushed out because they can't afford it there. Oh Snap.
