But you aren't increasing the population "a lot", now are you?
You linked to a graph that shows around 350,000 asylum seekers over 5 years. What percentage of Sweden's population is that?
- rayiner 9y agoIt's over 3.5% of the total population, which is equivalent to the U.S. adding about a million people. Also note that they're going to be concentrated into relatively few urban areas, instead of being spread out over the entire country.
- hjnilsson 9y agoUhh, would be US adding 10 million, not one million.

- phaemon 9y agoSo, 3.5% over 5 years, is about 0.7% per year. And that's the main cause of the housing problem in Sweden? I'm very skeptical. > note that they're going to be concentrated into relatively few urban areas Well surely that's a more likely cause, right? Not the actual number, but how they're being distributed.
