We want immigration paused until we can fix the housing crisis, as increasing the population by 400-500k+ per year while we have nowhere to even house a lot of the people already here is just making it worse. This is indisputable. More demand with same supply = higher prices and worse availability.
You think we’re saying immigration caused the housing crisis. We’re not. I’ve specifically told you that many times…….yet you still say that’s what we’re saying. You’re arguing in “bad faith” because you know you made a mistake but refuse to correct it.
Australia literally closed borders for years due to COVID (with bugger all disease internally). Immigration was effectively halted. Australia had the perfect opportunity to do exactly what you are saying… And did not.
The average increase in house purchase price, in all states, between 2020 and 2022 (i.e. while immigration pauses were effectively in place) immediately discredits your talking points.
Stop conflating immigration with the problem, which was, is, and remains, housing speculation.

Not sure if serious, but there were a few other gigantic things going on during that time lol.

It’s not semantics though, it’s a completely different argument to what you’re claiming is being made.
Maybe spend less time confusing the issue, and take up a pitchfork against speculative home ownership.
You’re the one who confused the issue though lol.
