I know places like Portugal and Spain are going through serious housing crunches right new and I know expats often exaggerate those problems. So where can an American flee oppression without just oppressing someone else?
For context: I’m a progressive lefty, thinking about long term relocation options cause the fash is getting pretty thick around here.
Edit: I know immigrants and expats (US or other) are not solely responsible overseas housing issues, but housing issues definitely exist across Portugal, Netherlands, etc. I don’t want to increase that burden and would feel shitty if my housing offer outbid 300 local applicants.
Do you feel oppressed by the immigrants who live in your country?
I think you’re buying into the right-wing idea that simply being an immigrant is somehow a form of oppression.
Immigrants are not to blame for the housing crisis. The housing crisis facing much of the world has to do with a growing population, a lack of housing development, and a market that treats housing like little more than an investment asset.
Growing population? Not where the housing crisis is
