Because its the same as blaming immigrants for Aldi running out of some Wednesday special, one thing has nothing to do with the other, so suspicion then falls to racism being the real motivation because no sane person blames the housing shortage on immigrants.
It's a managed, restricted supply thats the issue, compounded by dipshit voters reelecting the asshat polticans who cause it, rather then giving politcans who want to solve it a go eg The Greens.
We punish the homeless, protect the investor and blame the immigrants, talk about ass backwards.

So bringing in even 1000 more people every day, who need places to live, gas nothing to do with making housing availability worse?
So increasing demand while keeping supply the same, when there is a massive supply shortage, has no effect on availability?
What caused the problem isn’t the issue now. Why can none of you get this simple thing through your head?
If the bath is overflowing you turn off the tap.
Even a moment's critical thinking and investigation would inform you that 1,000 per day number has been widely debunked.
lol the ABS confirmed themselves that the NOM last fin year was >1200 per day. The year before it was ~1500 a day. You think it’s suddenly dropped down to <1000 while Labor have been stacking electorates with immigrants?
Also you missed the point and didn’t answer the question. Does increasing demand while not increasing supply affect availability and affordability?
