Are you going to write more extensively about these topics in an article? I have to say that what you just posted wasn't extremely clear...

About the refugees with spouses and children taking a massive share of the emergency accommodation for the homeless

Family reunification - ie someone has successfully claimed refugee status, then claimed the right to bring family from their home country - is a genuine pressure on some council homelessness accommodation, over and above the pressures councils wd have anyway because of eg evictions and so on.

Are refugees lesser residents? The share of money that needs to be spent on accommodation in proportion to the median salary is absurd. This cannot but lead to people who are unable to afford any accommodation. I can start picking among such group the ones I like less... it's not a hard game to play

I’m not going to spend the entire night having a debate. My point was that if you want to understand where some of the politics comes from then it’s worth understanding that much resentment about immigration crystallises around housing shortages/rationing

In other words if you break down the reasons why people are entitled to homelessness support, family reunification is in some places a huge part of what councils are handling (more so than id realised until quite recently, and I’ve been writing about it longer than I’d like)

But another way to reduce pressure on housing would be to have fewer private landlord evictions and more sensible levels of rent?
