I’d have thought the pressure of immigration on housing needs is lower than the pressure of centralized wealth creation? I have no sources just an intuition. London and Amsterdam are a good example of this

Huh? I'd have said Amsterdam is actually a real good example of immigration driving up rents. When covid happened, Amsterdam rates actually went down, whereas they kept going up in the rest of the nation. Why: the expats stopped coming.
What is centralised wealth creation?
