Totally agree. And while we are at it can we stop allowing investment companies to buy single family homes?

American land can only be owned by its citizens - AND American Businesses can only be owned by its citizens . It would require research to know if foreign investment should be allowed (there numerous arguments against this, I’m not sure if there are arguments for it). Too many corrupt American businesses based on foreign influence.

Absolutely!! Not one acre should be owned by outside interests and anyone that is connected to those outside interests. EX: Bill Gates

This is one of the most communist and nationalist policy I’ve read so far. It goes contrary to capitalism and the free market. This proves how far we are from capitalism in ideology these days and how much support for centralized power there is amongst Americans. This makes it impossible for legal immigrants that have lived here since forever to own land, this would allow government to expropriate land from millions of owners that aren’t citizens. The US has close to 50 million legal immigrants. This is not only anti American but also unconstitutional. Private property is not owned by government therefore government should not decide who you decide to sell your property to.

This should be 100% law. Because right now we’re selling our land to foreign enemy countries. I think anyone caught doing so, through whichever shady they can think of should be charged with selling to our enemies, then the land given to us, not the politicians. Right now we’ve given all our power to these politicians. Most of the land sold to foreign countries are done so through politicians. It’s just plain and simple Greed

How do you justify your position? I’m curious to know if there are meaningful arguments FOR foreign ownership of any property in the US.

I’m aware that US citizens and companies can and do own land outside the US. I think it’s up to those countries to allow that or to disallow it. I don’t think it is a valid argument for allowing foreign ownership of property - or businessess - in the US.

“Johnny’s mama let’s him do it.” is not a valid argument, IMO.

I think people with permanent residency and citizens should be able to buy homes. However, I agree that only citizens should own farmlands

Hawaii has laws against land ownership by non Hawaiian islanders. Land can be leased for 99 years.
It’s likely every state has various laws about land ownership. I think NO FOREIGN GOVERNMENT should own land in the United States of America.
The District of Columbia, DC, is not a state because it is owned by our federal government. It is the seat of our government. The people who live there are citizens of the country and that’s why they vote.
