its kind of odd how people see that immigration causes housing chrisis and price of real estate to rise.
and banks value is directly tied to real estate value:

but for some reason people dont seem to be abel connect those two.
but why🤔

_insert libertarian view_ If people started moving to affordable places that still accept their skill set, the real estate values would also normalize

In Ireland I’d estimate only about 3/8 of the exploiters of the housing crisis is immigrants but the rest aren’t. I know someone who’s a bloody pimp who somehow has council housing

And another person who faked being unable to take care of themselves and living in a council house and daughter’s house

like look what happend in 2007 when housing prices started to level out.
because population boom ended

Milton Friedman actually advocated for unrestricted illegal immigration--under the requirement that there is no welfare system--precisely because they would feed labor into the system and not take anything out.

It's obviously impractical and not very humane. And it would still depress wages.

Usually, (legal) immigration is a positive. It's like having a positive birth rate of *only* people who are wealthy or motivated enough to move.

The housing price rise is due to demand.

The real challenge is figuring out how to defeat the tendency of industry to cluster in excess.

Usually

The internet was supposed to be the lifeline to the rural communities due to telecommuting, but instead it seems to accelerated population concentration.

In Ireland’s case it is. But the bloody government is allowing some of them to exploit welfare

And others who are natives

>europe

white people dont want to live around immigrants so they move to richer neighborhoods, and push real estate prices even higher.
and thus pushing value of banks higher.

In Ireland there is good diversity

Immigrants are heavily integrated

Except for some Muslims

they are horrible at being integrated

The Asians and Africans and Eastern Europeans become 90% Irish within just 1 generation

No joke

But the Roma just kinda beg on the streets

Is Roma a derogatory term?

mouse born in aquarium doesnt just become fish.

bad analogy

U wouldn’t get it unless you lived in Ireland

humans are the same species

It’s the last bastion of good immigration

In Western Europe

different races.
race doesnt change based on where you born

A lot of the immigrants adopt western values in short periods and inter marry

In Ireland

do you believe culture is downstream from race?

just clarifying

been through this before, better to not beat around the bush

Downstream?

I have never heard that phrase

it's a way of saying one thing will lead to another

in this context, I'm asking if he believes people of a certain race will always gravitate towards a certain culture, regardless of external factors

That’s not really true imo. That only happens if they aren’t allowed to be assimilated (Like in a lot of Europe)

you can teach monkey to act like human. but that isint natural for monkey and it would never develop to act like that.
and you cant deny where that way of behiving originated from.

I wouldn’t compare immigrants to monkeys

again, a bad analogy. you're taking two different animals are using them as an example for a single species

They are a by product of historical mishaps

literally apples to oranges
