> Immigration is an entirely separate issue. Conflating it with the fact that hard working Swedes can’t secure good housing
How do you figure the two are unrelated? The native poor are competing with an influx of poor immigrants for the same pool of housing. I find it hard to understand how those same poor natives would be worse off in terms of housing prospects if the immigrants never showed up, all things being equal. Immigration is never 100% of the reason behind housing issues, but it’s more significant than most people want to admit.
