What about the impact of immigrants in the last 20 years?
reply
last time I was in Tenerife over 10 years ago immigrants had appeared, trying to sell sunglasses when we were trying to have a meal or a drink, or sitting on the beach. Kinda ruined the holiday.
There was also a scam running, selling timeshares in a large rented building next to the beach! Police were around the beach a lot and must have been aware of it.

At least they didn’t rob or assault or stab you

that was 10 years ago
they are more harmful and more annoying today and annoying would be an understatement

that sucks. The writing was on the wall back then. At first they will be passive, but after a while of no money / food etc things get desperate.
People are being used as weapons all over the world. They can be made to make moves on the grand chessboard due to lack of fiat money.
I dunno... what, in the absence of broken money and zoning regulations, do you think that does?
Can't any place, regardless of influx, adjust by building more...?
reply
More supply will lower prices
Unfortunately that is not the case today or the near future
What has been the impact of immigration in Sweden and Denmark on housing prices and quality of life?
reply
On housing prices? Probably nothing.
Again: with sufficiently flexible market, liberal zoning regulations, and a non-broken money, immigrants can't "impact" housing prices anymore than you or I could impact steak prices by going carnivore.
Quality of life is a different story: some people don't like them around. And there's undeniably an effect in deteriorated culture/social cohesion/misusage of public services etc.

Housing prices in Japan are relatively low.
Japan has a declining and aging population with a low birth rate and almost zero immigration.
Population affects demand for housing
Regarding steak prices what if one million vegans decided to convert to carnivore? I think the price would increase
You or I can’t affect prices because we are one person. One million persons can affect housing prices especially in a small country
