The anti-foreign NIMBY reaction is going to be curious.

From a national, demographic, and budget perspective, this has to happen for many countries (quickly, at large scale).

From a local, cultural perspective, I see people being very resistant (relatively speaking wealthy, culturally-ignorant foreigners moving in in large numbers?).

In democracies... that's going to be an interesting mix. Especially when current residents are the primary voters.

I expect we'll see more successful countries form political alliances between immigrants and parties pushing for more skilled worker immigration.
