Yes, I don't like how immigrants are being blamed for yet another problem. Immigrants aren't the reason nobody is building affordable housing. Immigrants aren't the reason mega corporations like BlackRock are buying up every parcel of real estate they can get. Immigrants didn't cause the housing market collapse of 2008.

Immigrants want to make a better life for themselves and their families in our great country and they're willing to work hard and use their skills to do it. Hard working labourers aren't the enemy. Once again, it's executives, brokers, and shareholders.

Let's add NIMBYs to the list, although there's plenty of overlap.
