- Immigrants need places to live, can you guess what increased demand does to prices?
  
  I bet you large companies buying up properties to rent for profit for both short term and long term has done far more to increase rent prices the the supposed immigration problem everyone keeps whining about.
  
  That is whataboutism and does not change the fact that immigration increases demand and results in higher prices.
  Burying your head in the sand won’t change facts or voters minds.
