Well, where i live they sure can’t do that, but they can get subsidized for paying rent. Not have only that, but they can sub rent, and still receive tax payer money.

There was a recent case of a fire in a T2 apartment. 12 immigrant were living in that single apartment. Similar situations are being reported in every city in this small country.

This means you can rent apartment you have, and there’s always immigrants looking for it, that can share/subrent with an absurd amount of people, each get their check and so your apartment rent is fully paid paid by social security.

More factors, deportations almost don’t happen, government is facilitating immigration.

This all adds up when you notice that the government figureheads were all previously mayors, and traditionally corruption at the mayor level was paid with real estate. So they are just using social security funds to charge absurd rents, and keep pressure on raising price.

Guess what happens when rent is high? House prices are also high.

But don’t worry, government is helping everyone with their payments by sending checks to everyone paying rent or house loan.

Ah yes, the classic blame the immigrants take.
This is not blame the immigrants, immigrants is a very big group with very different kinds of people.

That was a "blame the corrupt government" post. It clearly want rents to rise. Uncontrolled immigration is just one of many "tools" it uses.

"Helping the families" policies that they have implemented only made tiktok full of videos "Move to X and receive Y$, here's how"
