I found this passage very strange. Throughout the article, the author seemed to be advocating the position that most Londoners seem to hold: that houses should be for people to live in, and not for overseas property investors to use as an investment vehicle. So why should anyone be concerned about "shifting houses to minted foreigners"?

Legislation that would stop housing being kept deliberately empty by overseas investors has been shown to be hugely popular with the public – but that's not mentioned by the article, either.
