    @guismo
    We have consistently built more dwellings than our population has grown for the last 10 years. Immigration is not the cause of the housing crisis, fiscal policy that rewards property speculation is.
    Funny how people choose to ignore the actual facts because they want to point the finger at migrants. It’s almost as if they’re looking for a justification for their racism.

      I didn’t say that. I said that after all investors are dead, then we can start looking into immigration. But it’s quite possible that the real estate issue would be solved and I would have a house and we would find out that immigration was not a problem.

        Is it important for you that people who currently invest die, or that the seizing of properties doesn’t work anymore?

          It’s kind of a joke. Their behaviour is predatory and in a decent society that would not be allowed.

          I think profit from real estate should be illegal. At the very least from the land you bought. Not sure about what was constructed. But probably not either.

          No one should be allowed to sell a land for more than they paid, considering inflation, etc. No one should be allowed to get land to profit. You may b profit from the use of the land maybe, but NEVER from the land itself, be it renting, selling, whatever. Land is not a product you make. It’s limited and existed before you.
