Housing and Rental affected by Immigrants how much?
Economics is the study of scare resources. Cities have only so much room. More people means higher rent, and right now rent is unaffordable for most jobs so people have long commutes. This is extremely inefficient and bad for global warming. Typically immigrants work for less which enables higher profits, and they also buy food and clothes from large chains like Walmart so why do we call immigrants “vibrant”? Cities become cookie cutter because of pressure to consolidate. Economists like to talk about GDP but that is dishonest. America GDP went up less than population went up, so in real terms it went down, plus the distribution was regressive. The difference between America and India is GDP per capita. Is India what America wants to be? The same problem exists with schools prisons hospitals roads. I don’t understand why Americans don’t notice downsides. Do you own property?
