This is TERRIBLE! The ONLY thing that will Happen is this will prevent BILLIONAIRES from buying up ALL the Real Estate so the Poors can have a Chance to FINALLY own a Home! That's HORRIBLE!

Sorry bubs but your not the most important local spenders. Your not even in the top 10%.

You two week spending spree in the summer doesnt keep local businesses sustainable. You're just the marginal glaze on the cupcake.
