It’s not semantics though, it’s a completely different argument to what you’re claiming is being made.

Maybe spend less time confusing the issue, and take up a pitchfork against speculative home ownership.

    Wow what another hot take. Still garbage.
    
    Australia literally closed borders for years due to COVID (and bugger all disease internally). Australia had the perfect opportunity to do exactly what you are saying… And did not.
    
    Stop conflating immigration with the problem - housing speculation.

    Not sure if serious, but there were a few other gigantic things going on during that time lol.
    
    Stop conflating immigration with the problem, which was, is, and remains, housing speculation.
    
    Again you completely miss the point. Can you not read? Here, I’ll quote myself for you:
    
    You think we’re saying immigration caused the housing crisis. We’re not. I’ve specifically told you that many times…….yet you still say that’s what we’re saying. You’re arguing in “bad faith” because you know you made a mistake but refuse to correct it.
