As always with people trying to say “immigration isn’t the/an issue”, completely misses the point.
No one is saying immigration caused the housing affordability and availability crisis. No one. What we are saying is that we are in these crises now, and maintaining the current levels of immigration is making them worse and worse every single day.
Again for those that still don’t get it:
Immigration no cause problem. Problem happen. Situation terrible. Immigration now make situation much worse.
Semantics.Your point - that immigration excerbates existing underlying problems - specifically ignores the underlying problem, which in OPs post, describes that housing is a locked / controlled asset (due to it being a speculative investment) , which has itself created an artificial shortage.
Maybe spend less time confusing the issue, and take up a pitchfork against speculative home ownership.
