    According to your comments, you’re living and buying property in Japan in order to reside there for the rest of your life, so you’re arguing about policies that aren’t effecting you and that you’re not even a party to.

    I guess you can find someone more in tune with Japan’s housing market and issues there to discuss the best practices for Japanese laws.

      I have known people who have gone through the same thing in the US. I also have family in the US still who very much are impacted by the housing situation there.

      This just reeks of “foreigners bad” and possibly racism.

      There are many things that can be done other than banning foreigners who haven’t yet achieved greencard status but just want to have a place for themselves and their families to live to still achieve that. I don’t think you’ll find foreigners are the big issue here, and you already mentioned corporations which are a big issue. Attacking foreigners wanting to buy a house is not OK; that’s approaching apartheid-level bullshit.
