- runako 8y agoBought the house, then got a long-term assignment/promotion in another city, but 100% plan on moving back in the future. This is not uncommon.
- collyw 8y agoIts probably only people with "good jobs" with opportunities like that who can afford to buy in major cities these days.
- arandr0x 8y agoI did, but TBH, I think that makes me (and most of HN) part of the economic class cities want to keep out of their culture, and I don't blame them.
- richardknop 8y agoJob offer overseas might be too good to turn down. A regulation like this would then deny this couple a potentially big improvement in their quality of life because there would be no income mobility for them. They would be unable to rent their place to go try out a potentially life changing opportunity in a different country. Regulations like these always end up having unintended consequences and hurting random people like this.
