Non US citizens shouldn't be allowed to own property in the US.

That's how it already works in a ton of countries that have way better housing markets.

Why? Isn’t residency the better test of investment in a community (just as it is with voting)?

IMO residents should be granted citizenship.

A big problem that is happening is other countries' citizens are buying up shitloads of housing and don't live here.
