If you haven't noticed there's a war in Ukraine. If you think those refugees should be turned away I don't know what to say to you because "If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all"
Housing was shit show even before the war. Blaming things on immigrants is poor taste and bad logic.
- nojvek 3y agoOP mentioned a reasonable argument for the lack of supply. A country ought to first serve its citizens before citizens of another country. Analogous to you’d first take care of your own kids before aiding others. Yes Ukraine is in a war and one should help, but you should help yourself first so you can help others.

Screaming at refugees is a diversion, especially since they rarely compete in the normal housing market in most countries.
- true_religion 3y agoYou’re right but the fact that poverty exists in a country has never been used as an excuse to turn away refugees who might otherwise die in a war. We tackle difficult problems simultaneously, not in sequence.
