that's fair we have a house shortage too but not because of a shortage of houses. I came from an area were people were fighting eachother for places to live so I don't personally want to exacerbate your guys' situation. I'll keep studying languages, thank you for your answer
To be clear, that wasn't meant as a discouragement, more just as a heads-up on what to expect.
It's "better" in smaller towns, but that comes at the cost of less infrastructure and services.
Imo it's been pretty predictable for years that we might need to absorb a lot of US emigrants, and while it's very popular to blame the housing crisis on new arrivals, it's fundamentally the result of decades of policy failures by successive governments of a country that relies heavily on immigration.
That said, there are probably better options for those who can afford it.
