> Even if the bureaucracy is the worst offender, every foreigner buying a house still results in 1 less house for Spaniards. Just to be pedantic, it's not about foreigners buying property, it is about non-resident buying properties. A foreigner that actually resides in Spain would not be taxed, if I understand correctly. I don't think that limiting property ownership to residents is a bad thing. I do think, however, that it will not have that much impact in the properties the average people actually need and want.
