@jasonwalker9471 Doubt he would do anything either. The housing issue is one that spans political ideology. Some people have houses for investments and by building more houses, you lower their investments. And vice versa. It's the political hot potato. Talk a good game but do nothing. Remember, Labour parties in Australia, NZ, and the UK were traditionally socialist or social democratic parties. If Clement Atlee were elected from the Old Labour Party today, he would have made a national housing service where people paid a tax and were given homes based on need without any upfront costs or mortgages. And he would have funded both NHS's properly. What these countries have today is not Labour, but conservative lite.

While European countries' population growth may be bolstered by immigration, how will it affect the cultures? The gauls were different from the franks, for example. The visigoths were different from the romans. Will there be a backlash and a reconquista (reminiscent of expelling Arabs from the iberian peninsula in the 15th century)?

@GuessTheSongMS The us dollar is a global reserve currency. They would "fund" the healthcare the same way as the "defence" Budget, if you told them they were infiltrating ISIS and al Qaeda networks in the medical field.

@19382q 🤷‍♂️ maybe. But at least I don't need to worry about going into the no-go zones that police are afraid to enter. Or be attacked by a religious zealous mob for not dressing "appropriately" (more so for ladies).

What are your thoughts on a "jury duty" for housing? Community members are called up for public service in building some homes knowing that someone else has done this for them. It would no more be slave labour than the current jury duty system. Plus, unlike jury duty, you get a free home. Could also try for a "jury duty" for medics. This might require basic schooling to provide home construction, basic medical care, wiring, and plumbing.
