        I’m lucky enough to have dual EU nation citizenship from my childhood. Going to be digging through my childhood paperwork in case I need it.

            The Americans that want nothing to do with Trump are the ones you want trying to immigrate to your country. Use your brain before you speak. You sound exactly like a republican talking about Mexicans.

              No I was talking about how we have a housing crisis and people are freezing to death on the streets, and lets be fair even the “ones who want nothing to do with trump” are still way right of center in a global sense.

              Please go someplace warm instead.

                I assume you’re Canadian. This is a problem across North America. Almost nowhere is safe now.

                The construction industry scaled way back in 2008, and it never really scaled back up in North America. We’re not building enough to keep pace with population growth and to replace aging homes.

                We need to build, not blame each other.

                  Yeap, and yet we are not building anything that is not large semi or detached homes. Here there is no subsidies (current or planed) for building apartments we desperately need and instead our providential government blames municipalities for “red tape” causing issues with builders. You can talk to builders, they don’t want to manage buildings and they build what makes them money, its not rocket science.

                There are more than enough houses for the global homeless population overall. It’s the borders and high rents that are keeping them on the streets, not prospective immigrants.

                  The guy above you is pretty rude, but if you’re curious, The Daily had a good piece on housing prices.

                  https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/24/podcasts/the-daily/housing-crisis-michigan.html

                  Like most economists, they believe it is a supply problem. But more importantly, they claim that many North American contractors downsized or went out of business during the 2008 mortgage crisis, that industry never scaled back up, and were simply not building at the rate we were 20 years ago.

                  In other words, we need to incentivize and more people getting into construction.

                  (And now the construction industry is worried that Mexican labor will get deported under Trump, so, oof)

                  Yes, please move to those places. I would love to house everyone, and would pay greatly to do so. But as we can see the political landscape really does not currently allow such acts.

              The ones who wanted something to do with Kamala aren’t wanted either. The parties are so far right, that most Dem voters would probably support our right wing in my country.

              Id say its more akin to not wanting to take in those Russians who were fleeing conscription at the start of the war.
