Elroy lives in the U.A.E. Since he's not a native emirati, his rights are limited.

There are some areas where I can buy homes/apartments. I haven't. I use my spare cash to buy VCLK.

In some areas? What does that mean?


Exactly what it says. There are specific regions/islands where non-citizens can own homes/apartments, but in most of the country non-citizens cannot. It's as if foreigners could own in Manhatten, but not in the rest of New York state.

Here are some of the new developments where non-citizens can own housing. I think we can only lease the land for 100 years, or something like that.

Most developing countries do not allow non-citizens to own land, by the way.
