If you want to create a market for housing refugees, give the refugees themselves housing credits and let companies compete to provide the services. Supply-side-only solutions rarely work.
- gozur88 11y agoI wonder if that's politically feasible in a country this small. They've accepted enough refugees that to simply dump them into the broader housing market would cause a pretty sharp spike in the cost of housing for everyone.
- kaonashi 11y agoThat's when you want to start focusing on supply side, once demand has driven inflation, it may be that the local housing market has the capacity to absorb the extra spending.
- gozur88 11y agoOh, it's the most efficient way to deal with the problem. But political reality can be the antithesis of efficiency.
