Nope, there isn’t. Without a good reason it’s forbidden. Sadly so, would drive prices even higher. And the “actual statistic” are obvious: Population nearly doubled. Fact. Still the same space and only a fraction of what would be needed have been built new. Fact. Less of something available with risen demand for it? Prices rise. Simple as that.

And even IF it would be as you said, wouldn’t change a thing about immigrants. They’re on top of the problem ypu describe. Can’t speak for the US though.

Come on… doubled from where? You don’t know? Look it up. Very unlikely due to immigrants.

There are past migrants too that procreate way more than we do. But why should i even argue? It’s simple logic. Even if everyone of us had 1 child. Including past immigrants and not counting them, every coming immigrant is a +1 we didn’t want nor need. Doesn’t matter how well they integrate or not. It’s just population = population +1

I have never heard so much e. G. ukranian in my life. Those hundreds of thousands need room to live.

But if you want to believe in your theory of how additional people don’t matter, sure. Go ahed. I don’t mind. It’s people like you that helped bring us here. Thanks. I hate work anyway 😁

Dodging the question, I see 🙄

Look, I am not denying that the population in your city might have doubled in recent years, its a common trend with urbanisation in many places. And of course such growth puts strain on a cities services and creates a lot of competition in the housing market.

But, nearly everywhere this trend isn’t driven by first or second generation immigrants, like you imply. It is usually driven by the native population that relocates from rural areas and smaller cities to larger cities.

The argument that every extra person makes it worse is laughable when the extra persons we talk about here make up such a small percentage of the overall issue and often don’t even compete for housing as they are placed in government run group-housing.
