LOL. . . It's a bunch of angered cheap-o subcontinent expats crying fowl over an increase in ancillary costs of sending their children to school. Besides those schools cater for those types of expats in particular. 10 dirhams says this poll and thread will not get any attention here nor in alloexpa...

I think DesertdudeShj gave a very decent accounting breakdown. Read his post. Hence my sarcasm, as many expats from the subcontinent are highly price conscious to the extent of being scraping miserly. And this is not because they are not earning well, trust me many are, but the small town mentality...

Too many limitation and inconvenience though. Is it enough to persuade foreigners to buy property? If dropping is as much speed as before there will be no property worth a million very soon. :) At the other hand wealthy people aren't keen very much to prove that they aren't a camel twice a year. ht...

This is reminiscent of what happened to Singapore property market in late 90s. It crashed almost 80% and never recovered from it.. Dubai seems to be going that way.. And with the recent new residency permit announcemets, its going to make things worse. First reason is tht the govt. seems to be chang...
