Sixty percent are speculators, waiting to resell or rent out.
Assuming 80% of new developments comprises mainly of studios and 30+ sqm 1-bed, we can say that there are over 50,000 units in the hands of speculators. Good luck to them.
It's too late for recent buyers of such units to back out. But there is still time for potential buyers to stop their foolishness.

Moronic tax bill from an even more moronic troll clown president.
"The economy is on a sugar high, and tax cuts won’t help
The approaching end of President Trump’s first year in office, another strong employment report and a still-strong stock market make it appropriate to revisit my year-old judgment that the economy is enjoying a “sugar high.” Unfortunately, the best available evidence suggests that signs of current market and economic strength are largely unrelated to government policy, that the drivers of this year’s economic strength are likely transient and that the structural foundation of the U.S. economy is weakening. Sugar high remains the right diagnosis, and tax cuts are very much the wrong prescription."

No, the stock market anticipates. It does not reflect now.
When the market decided Obama would win in 2008, it crashed
when it was suprised by the Trump victory, it boomed

It's ok for the corporations and filthy rich to benefit, but for the retired middle class, not so much. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Corporations do not pay corporate tax, thier customers, employees, and bond and stockholders do.
In your example, retired middle class could well benefit. Prices of goods and services will be lower due to less expensive inputs. Also retired middle class are big holders of Fortune 500 stocks and bonds. These dividend payments will be higher.
Basic economics really

Then the US is not safe.
The 9/11 attack was committed by 19 men who were citizens of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Lebanon - countries not on the Muslim ban.
Well I agree banning all would be best. Trump has decided these countries have sufficient intelligence services that they can vouch for thier visiting citizens.
To be seen.

The ban doesn't only stop refugees. The US has always been able to pick and chose who is admitted as a refugee. It also excludes all tourists, all family visits, business visas, education visas as well as those in need of medical attention.
I suspect that most people from those countries wouldn't get a visa under the best of circumstances, but banning everyone is generally counterproductive.
The 9/11 attack was committed by Islamic fanatics on tourist and student visas. It's impossible to know who will be the next. Best to be safe than sorry. We lose very little keeping all Arabs out

That's like saying right-wing Christians oppose grown men sexually assaulting 14-yr-olds, but then support men who do just that. .....oh, I see now. Both ClutchClark's missive and mine are true. They must be a conflicted bunch. I'm glad I'm not a Republican. If so, I'd have to compromise my moral standards constantly. Their motto is: Party loyalty over moral decency. Loyalty to Trump over doing what's right for the USA.
addendum: 'Party loyalty and person-worship over doing what's right.' Hmmm, where have I heard that sort of logic before? ....oh, that's right, a certain mustached angry man from Austria, about 75 yrs ago, took over a political party, and all hell broke loose for the ensuing 7 years.
Well, one good thing that came out of the 3rd Reich's domineering actions: Germany, 20 years after the war, became a strong economic power. Same for the other defeated war-mongering force: Japan. So, maybe right-wing biographers in the 22nd century will look back at the damage caused by Trumpsters, and conclude: "It was an awful administration, but at least the US went back to resume its role as world power in the 2040's."
Trump and Alabama Republicans have a choice between a candidate who endorses murdering children(unborn) vs another who is accused of having sex with one(he denies it).
Easy call and supported by his constituents. http://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/

Actually if it is shown by a foreigner that the spirit of the law was subverted (so very sorry I just learned I'm not allowed to use a nominee, but I was persuaded it was legal....... actually i paid for it, here's the proof) the sale of a property can be reversed and the funds reverted to the foreigner.....I believe at present day value, the sale within 6 or 12 months. I know personally of a case where this happened successfully though it took some time and obviously hassle.
Well sure if the seller will give you back your money but if it was me, I say get stuffed. Then your stuck living in a house you don't own, illegal, in a foreign country.
And then what happens if the seller sells in again legally to a Thai family member, they show up and tell you to get out?
How you going to stay put in a house you don't own?

There is plenty of meat in the topic but much of it is related to Trump's alt right advisors pushing him every minute to change the World into what they see which is totally against what the majority of America really wants.
Do I want Israel invaded- of course not. However, both of them will need to come to an agreement someday and some way and by Trump trying to place the alt right and Israel- he is stoking the flames of not only the radical islamists but even the moderate Arab States.
I shall leave it at that.
Look, building a new nation state is ugly. End of the day possession is 99%.
Israelis and Palestinians can come to an agreement just like the Americans and Comanche.
Palestinians can sit around Gaza getting drunk and the Israelis can get on with building a Democratic nation in the Middle East.

There doesn't really seem to be any upside to this move. According to that article it mainly relates to fulfilling a campaign promise, but that sort of thing is completely meaningless to Trump. I don't even mean that part as some sort of insult; he changes what he says constantly, and is ok with that. It's easy for fact-checks to prove that he's said things that aren't true hundreds of times (over 2000, I think his tally stands at). That must either be intentional or just automatic, and it doesn't really matter which, he's not going for consistency.
According the ultra-right-wing whack-job comments here this is "really going to show those Arabs," but that makes even less sense. Show them what? That Trump thinks the capital of Israel is really Jerusalem? Or that he doesn't care if they're upset? What's the point? His spokespeople are saying this is about "admitting reality" but they don't have any practical spin to go with it, no reason to get around to admitting reality, if that's what moving an embassy amounts to.
Some people will never understand Trump( more will never like him) but I think he is genius.
He moves the goalpost on his opponents and they go nuts. He gets what he wants ( which is less than asked for but often more than a vast majority).
Travel ban, regulation repeal, tax cuts, now Middle East politics.
Each one of these was unimaginable a year ago. Now they are on the ground facts.
Can you imagine what the Mexican NAFTA negotiators are thinking now? They are in deep caca and they know it.
trade agreements, Military, judiciary will be completely revamped by 2020.
Donald Trump may go down as one of the most important presidents in modern time.

There wasn't any claim made about Obama's administrations "solving" anything. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this excuse for a President making such faulty foreign policy decisions.
Trump is not going to the "heart" of anything. This move doesn't address anything, is not (apparently) lodged within a grander design, and its not clear where it is heading.
As for "our way" - who's way is this? How does this benefit the USA?
Nope
Trump's teamed with the good guys against the bad guys.
Unlike Obama who betrayed our allies

So are corporate taxes regressive if they're low. And of course, while corporate taxes are nominally high in the USA, in fact they are not high given the huge number of loopholes and exemptions.
That said, I would it would be a huge improvement if corporate taxes were eliminated and dividends and capital gains were taxed at the same rate as income. Why should government favor certain kinds of income over other kinds of income? And there would be one regressive tax less.
Low corporate taxes are less regressive. Ideally corporate tax would be zero. Government lowers tax on dividends and capital gains to promote investment but I agree that it makes no sense to have a preference for investment over labor.
Government is stupid. Avoid it.

Lowering taxes first on business and then on the wealthy Very little left over for others. There's virtually no evidence to support the position that lowering taxes on corporations and the wealthy will stimulate the economy. Certainly not enough to pay for the cuts as Republicans claim. The same Republicans who claim to be concerned about deficits. Basically, they're concerned about pleasing the Koch et alii. And exactly how big does the US military need to be? The USA already spends more than the the total of the next 7 nations. 37% of world military spending.
Corporate taxes are just another cost input into the creation of goods and services. Consumers pay. It is a hidden regressive tax. Liberals who support high corporate tax do not understand basic economics.
