Ban Investors and Non-US Citizens from Buying US Homes and Property
Ban Investors and Non-US Citizens from Buying US Homes and Property
The Issue
The American dream intrinsically includes owning a house or property in the pursuit of said dream. It is becoming significantly less likely for a regular, everyday American citizen to buy a home. Affordability is at an all-time low, and it is only getting worse. We need to ensure that owning a house or property becomes achievable for the average working-class American citizen. Housing is a human right everywhere in the world, except in the United States.
Currently, the housing market is dominated by investors and non-US citizens purchasing properties as investments, rather than homes. This practice not only drives up the prices, making it impossible for average citizens to afford a house, but also erodes the very essence of community and a sense of belonging. In 2021, investors accounted for about 18% of all U.S. home sales, and these trends show no signs of slowing down. With the average home price soaring above $400,000, homeownership is slipping out of reach for many families.
By banning foreign investors and non-citizens from purchasing or owning property in the United States, we can take a significant step toward stabilizing the housing market. It becomes crucial to prioritize our citizens, giving them the opportunity to secure a home and build a future.
Additionally, we must adopt policies that make homeownership more financially feasible for the average American. Implementing measures like tax incentives for first-time homebuyers, affordable housing programs, and capping property taxes can ease the burden.
Homeownership is not just about possessing property; it represents stability, security, and hope for a better future. Every American deserves the chance to experience this aspect of the American dream. Let's come together to make homeownership a realistic and attainable goal for all. Join us in demanding legislative action to ban foreign and investor-owned property purchases in the US and support policies that promote homeownership for American citizens.
Sign this petition to urge lawmakers to protect the American dream and make housing a real possibility for everyone.
