    Of course they are both good and very much needed. So knowing that, lets fucking build the housing infrastructure to support them first.

      My worry is that there’s so much NIMBYism against building housing so that if we slow down immigration for housing to catch-up then with the lower urgency we’ll just not build.

        Good, then maybe the government will have a sense of urgency dealing with NIMBYs.
