But why allow e.g. Chinese investors to buy property in SF if they aren't even going to live there?

1. It's only an investment because of limited supply.

2. Chinese investors buying up and not living there is effectively a myth. There just are aren't very many of them.

3. What's special about "Chinese"? If a rich NYC finance person buys a vacation home in SF is that ok? How about a Brit or German?
