How does adding more immigration help with the housing crisis?
Well, more people to build the houses, for a start. The housing crisis has nothing to do with population. It's an entirely self-inflicted problem because it's impossible for a natural market to be both too expensive to purchase and not profitable enough to supply at the same time. Find the brakes and take them off. Rent control for new construction, pointless urban parking requirements, and NIMBYs are the culprits, not fresh immigrants.

Do you only let builders, contractors and handy-men immigrate in the country? >The housing crisis has nothing to do with population. How so? Housing prices are a function of supply vs demand, and more population equals more demand, unless you expect the immigrant population to be homeless.
- watwut 5y agoThe houses are not missing due to missing builders. There are no houses due to zoning restrictions, regulations that prevent apartments and force houses with yards.
