Rationale

Removing foreign land purchase restrictions boosts investments, economic growth and creation of new job whilst ensuring fair market access for all buyers. Plus, the current regulations are more than a bit pointlessly protectionist (therefore against free market) and chauvinistic.

Proposed Changes

1	Foreign Land Ownership	Foreign ownership limited to commercial property only; residential banned		No restrictions on foreign land purchases
