Thanks, we posted at the same time.

Making unsubstantiated claims such as those of the parent is what drives the anti-EU right in the UK.

At least on HN, show me the numbers.

The numbers are clear and obvious to those who seek them with a clear head.

More people = more demand for housing = higher prices.

Yeah, those Cambridge idiots were probably drunk when they conducted their research and produced their report.

You're probably best off just trusting your gut instinct on these things.

Those Cambridge people depend on immigration to pay their fees. They're hardly unbiased.

Do you really seriously think that an increasing population could ever lead to falling demand for housing? How would that one work?

The charts in their "study" show clearly. Immigration increases, house prices increase.

Nigel? Is that you?
Cite them then. You are the one making the claims! Demonstrate your point is based on something other than xenophobic rhetoric!
Markets are not always linear...
