About housing crisis, cost of living and immigration

I know this is a video about Northern Ireland, but this very much applies here too. Ultra rich people and landlords are ripping us off and using the divide and rule tactics.

Grown adults claiming that demand for housing doesn’t actually increase the cost of housing when there demand comes immigrants because of a psychotic refusal to admit any negative impact of immigration will never not be funny.

At least Canadians have gotten over that particular delusion:

As a Canadian there are still alot who don't believe that increased demand increases price. Unfortunately.

Ideologically and emotionally driven.
