    Two men accused of Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot found not guilty.

    The decision culminates a weeks-long trial that began on March 9 over whether Adam Fox, Brandon Caserta, Barry Croft Jr. and Daniel Harris conspired to kidnap the governor, and in the process, use a weapon of mass destruction. The jury found both Harris and Caserta not guilty on all charges but could not deliver a verdict for Croft and Harris.
    ...
    All four men allegedly sought to construct and deploy explosives to dismantle a bridge near Whitmer's residence. Prosecutors detailed extensive text messages and recordings of the defendants allegedly hatching their scheme. Many of the men involved have or had affiliations with paramilitary militias or right-wing extremist groups.
    ...
    Key to the defense's argument was the FBI's informant, Dan Chappel, who they alleged was the real ringleader of the plot, egging all the men on at every step of the way. According to the defense, Chappel drove the men to training exercises, meetings, and participated in a reconnaissance mission at the governor's cottage.

Should foreigners be banned from buying residential real estate?

352 votes, 44 comments

Context: Canada's federal budget includes a two-year ban on foreigners buying homes.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - Foreign corporations: yes. Individual foreign investors who don't plan to take occupancy: yes. Foreigners working legally and paying taxes should be allowed to buy property, as should foreigners in the process of becoming U.S. citizens. One of the many issues regarding housing is the non-owner occupied investors competing with individuals. That may be the more important issue.


No - By artificially constraining demand, this would be (another) tax on homeowners who want to sell to the highest bidder, just as people do when we sell our cars, ...



Unsure - I neither like the idea of completely locking the market down [or of allowing] foreign entities to "buy up" our own residential real estate at our detriment. I think it's a symptom of a deeper pr...
