Dear Frederick, The situation with land is precisely the same as it is with labour. Simple demand and supply. While you have no wish to restrict the unmitigated inflow of labour into Goa, you seem keen on restricting the sale of land to foreigners. Goans in Goa will definitely not be able to afford land in Goa anymore, because whether it is foreigners buying it, rich out-of-state Indians or huge hotel chains, the price of land will be determined by its demand and supply.
Since, demand is high and supply is restricted, prices are bound to sky-rocket. Are you suggesting an embargo on the sale of land because it disadvantages the native Goan? Me thinks, two sets of principles cannot apply to the same economic situation. You're either a Keynesian or an Adam Smith. Betwixt the two lies nothing.
