[OC] Housing prices and salaries - Three immigration levels (2023-2024)

[u/Rauram99]

Notes:

I only included countries with >0.830 HDI >5 Millions population.

Net migration rates are a cumulative average for the last 5-10 years.

[u/Rexpelliarmus]

Doesn't really look like there's any correlation with immigration levels here.

[u/Mobius_Peverell → u/Rexpelliarmus]

Pretty sure that's the point of the visualization. Showing that the media narrative is not correct.

[u/Common-Ad-9313 → u/Mobius_Peverell]

Also “who” immigrates has an impact. I presume that outlier “SWI” is Switzerland? Probably high immigration of wealthy people moving for tax-advantaged reasons

[u/Life_outside_PoE → u/Common-Ad-9313]

Not really. Switzerland has a very stable economy and good salaries. They're in the schengen area so anyone in Europe can migrate there to work and they do. There's a ton of immigration of normal working class people.

[u/irrelevantusername24 → u/Life_outside_PoE]

It works in this order, and no other:

1. freedom*
2. necessary infrastructure
3. bonus infrastructure ⇅
4. high population density ⇅
5. high income and high wealth reasonably distributed*

^\also a necessity for all the above because freedom = relative equality)

---

If these things are not maintained, or intentionally dismantled, it breaks. the propaganda and divisional hatemongering works for a time, but eventually it gets you too.

"first they came for the . . ."

ICYMI: we're** moving through the list quickly

^\*I say "we" because we were all) ^{innocent at one time back then too}

[u/IJustDontWannaBe → u/Life_outside_PoE]

Small correction, they can travel there and stay there for 90 days, but not work or live there. Thats only inside the EU. Though its easy to get the necessary documents as an EU citizen, you only need a purpose like study, work or family reunification.

[u/KingOfAbuse → u/Common-Ad-9313]

Still also immigrating wealthy people need spaces to live (if not even more)
