House prices are another, related, issue.

And why d'ye think house prices might have gone up to the extent they

It's simple supply and demand. The demand side has shot up due to the
population increase, 60% of which is due to recent immigration. Much of
the rest is due to second,third, and fourth generations of immigrants,
who have a higher birthrate than the indigenous population.
