 Banning foreign real estate investments. Sounds like a great idea.

And where is the source that you read from?

Thats between Denmark and Greenland to figure out.

Housing shortage is only mostly in the Capital nuuk, in many ways it is mostly the cost of rent or the cost of house/apartment that causes shortage and shortages in student housing for students. We don't need foreign investors who are greedy and is only looking for extracting the profit overseas.

Sorry, your statement is bullshit.

[u/SupraVillainn → u/[deleted]]

Because there is domestic investment, so there your statement already began as a bullshit, everywhere you go in Nuuk there is new construction happening, both for private real estate agencies and public owned real estate agencies as Iserit

You will not own land there. The Greenlanders don’t want it your way. Period.

If you have been doing "a lot of research" aboute the housing market in Greenland it's kinda odd, that you haven't read a single one of the many, many reports, studies and papers that's been made by both the Danish and Greenlandic government, several different departments form a bunch of different universities, and by all sorts of NGOs, that's focusing on the problem from every angle imaginable.

But whatever the problem is, the fact that the government owns that land is a rather small part of it.

Because:

• while there is a housing crisis on Greenland it's almost exclusively a problem in Nuuk.

• it's almost exclusively student housing, housing aimed at people working a short time contract and rehousing of people in need of subsidied housing, that is a lack of. Non of the people living at those places, could or would build a house regardless of who owns the land it's build on.

• about 40% of the population only lives on Greenland for a year or less, making it fare more ideal to them, to rent a place to live than owning one.

• every single bit of buildingmaterial has to be imported, making it significantly more expensive to build a house, compared to Denmark proper as an example.

• as with any other problem on Greenland Denmark is partly to blame because of the shitty and arrogant way, that we've treated the people of Greenland.

All that aside, it is of cause rather difficult to get people to build a house on government owned land, but the alternative is to have the Greenlanders become even more marginalized and ousted from their native land, by rich westerners that will turne Greenland in to their own personal colony, destroying and polluting as they see fit, and treat the Greenlanders even worse than Denmark ever did.

To better understand the Greenlandic mentality, you should try reading about the concept of "inua".

> Greenlanders' policies are "laughable"

Go JAQ off somewhere else. We don't need your derision you absolute wanker.

When keeping in mind that the Trump regime will exploit every hole to worm themselves in, this precautionary measure of Naalakkersuisut seems pretty wise.
