You do need a certain level of wealth to move there unless you are a key worker eg Nurse.
Not sure how close we would come to the wealth requirements.

There are two sets of property on the island - open market which is for non locals and closed for those born and raised there. It's a way of protecting locals so they don't get priced out of the property market in the way they have been elsewhere.

Property is expensive - our friends paid £6m for 7 bedroom farmhouse with 8 acres. We wouldn't be spending anywhere that.

I'd say it's more an extra tool
to rachet up the level of division and simmering resentment between locals and non-locals even more, personally.
