    Da fuq is this guy protesting about?

    Apparently he's a renter. If he's been given proper legal notice that his lease is not being renewed and he refuses to leave in the designated time period, he's essentially trespassing.

    Next step in the legal process is eviction. Pretty cut and dried.

    Irrelevant from a legal standpoint whether he's black, white or green. Property rights take precedent. Unless the fucking City of Seattle wants to try some bullshit eminent domain crap and say this property has historical/anthropological significance.

    Which, given that it is Seattle, this dude will stay put in his SWJ protected piece of shit rental.

    Even the pussy city of Seattle evicted him.

    It has to be an extremely cut and dried case.

    Door. African Ass. Out.

    There's a fine line between a white nationalist and a white supremacist. Sad!

    It's probably Chinese money doing the development anyway.

    He has done nothing wrong,” said Cliff Cawthon, an organizer with the group Standing Against Foreclosure and Eviction. “The only thing he’s done is be a black elder in a rapidly gentrifying, developing city.”

    City Councilmember Kshama Sawant weighed in against the eviction

    Wish Trump would go after Chinese real estate investors. Sick of these fuckers going in and bubblefying housing markets. They've completely fucked Vancouver and are starting to fuck Seattle.

    Vancouver fucked themselves.

    Yeah Vancouver fucked itself because it waited too long to implement any restrictions on overseas buyers. The US will fuck itself too if it doesn't start clamping down. Right now the Chinese real estate problem is primarily in a handful of major US metros but its going to get worse because no one seems to give a shit.

    Seattle is rich because of globalization and the high-value (skills and education of its workforce). In the long term "WE" will become even more successful and dominant. The only way we lose that advantage is to restrict the flow of capital, labor and resources. HTH.

    You're conflating speculative Chinese real estate investment with globalization and FDI in general. Foreign property ownership isn't a good thing if the property owner doesn't live, work or contribute meaningfully to the local economy. It prices out local residents and creates distortions - median housing prices that far exceed median incomes. This is the problem in Vancouver and why the city implemented a foreign ownership tax on property purchases.

    Disagree. Capital flows to its most productive uses. Always. It's called comparative advantage and is one of the reasons why the US is the richest country country in the world and Seattle is at the apex of the US economy. We can't sell the world trillions in our value-added products like tech and at the same time prevent people from buying in the US. Overall,and especially in the long term, our benefits vastly exceed the costs. You have to be skilled, educated, competive and aggressive though. Otherwise, Race can introduce you to life in the 909 / 951.

    I'm the wattered down version. I'm only a little racist and it's primarily targeted at at a small segment of wealthy, mainland Chinese.

    --you fucked up the quoting--

    You are talking about macroeconomic theory and I'm talking about a specific problem where some Chinese millionaire decides that he doesn't trust the Chinese government and wants to park his cash in a hot real estate market overseas instead. If they tear down some old single family home and replace it with a set of condos then it is probably a net positive because they added housing stock but if they just buy and hold onto some home then it's just artificially inflating local demand beyond what local residents cam afford.

    If Chinese real estate speculation is such a good thing then why are cities like Vancouver and Sydney imposing such tough restrictions to fight the problem?

    Because protectionists, nativists and nationalists come to the fore everywhere. It's ultimately self defeating but historically recurring. It's the simple minded thing to do and always ends badly.
