We were at a pal's house a few months ago at a 'do' which hosted about 40 people, all of them 'long timers' who'd been living here for 15 years and more.<BR/><BR/>Not one is buying.

After all, it's been their home for so long and, as you say, they've been part of building the nation. When they retire they don't have an employer to sponsor them so the only way they can stay is - or perhaps <I>was</I> - to buy a property and so get their residence visa. That's also showing commitment to the country by investing in its future.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-56670162380484016482008-07-09T18:58:00.000+04:002008-07-09T18:58:00.000+04:00My folks bought a home in AJ - just because they d...My folks bought a home in AJ - just because they didn't want to rent anymore (plus given crazy rent increases). Having lived in UAE for so long, they really didn't buy into a residence visa possibility via property ownership. I mean for God's sake, people who've built the nation thru the decades, have their own businesses - or those born in the UAE, aren't allowed to belong - why would property investors, many of who moved in the last few years expect different? Or perhaps am being pessimistic, however, kinda calling it the way I've seen it, since birth. <BR/><BR/>That said, I agree with what you are saying. It's all true. It's time for this nation to grow up and change for the better.roshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03271894997251528158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-26814253168645444062008-07-09T18:28:00.000+04:002008-07-09T18:28:00.000+04:00Sadly, it is not unexpected either.Sadly, it is not unexpected either.dubaibillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508407395899589525noreply@blogger.com
