A record was just set for a home resale here in west Burlington....2.3 million....NUTS....from guess??  Yes a Chinese family from Toronto. That is the third one in our tiny area in the past two months and they are pushing up houses preventing our kids from ever buying here.  Interest rates can double and the Chinese with all their cash will keep making affordability a pipe dream.  This is a very dangerous situation, as they have all the cash, our kids do not and a split in society in inevitabe which will eventually lead to some retribution from our younger generation.  Punish those who have little while the newcomers with all their ill gotten gains make hay with us....something has to give here..no??
