The Swiss are voting on capping their population at 10 million due to housing shortages, infrastructure strain and rapid immigration-driven growth. Sound familiar?

We don't know who Stonewall are but we are willing to bet they are BigProperty.Our experience in #Australia, is that #universities became glorified #propertyDevelopers, they would spriuk #populationGrowth because they and their corporatePartners were using #migrants as cashCows to fuel #construction of #highrises for exhorbident #rents and short-term profits.
