I live in Austin Texas and we have a housing issue. Rents are growing like crazy. We have a few hundred people moving to the city every day. Several hundred daily is quite a bit, it's been a huge impact on the city here. New buildings are going up all over the place. Traffic is a nightmare. Homelessness is an issue. There is no parking.
It begs the question, what are thousands of migrants/refugees going to do to the local housing situations once they start getting stipends? Who is going to pay for all of the new buildings? Are the rents for the locals going to increase because of it? Are the prices of food and daily necessities going to increase? Taxes of course will increase because the new infrastructure will need to be paid for and public services will be more expensive due to more people that have higher needs.
These are all things that nobody is talking about. In two years when the bills start hitting hard and everyone is freaking out because they can't pay their rent, what then?
