    Overall not too bad, but the video entirely ignores that the housing prices have gone up in a very similar fashion in other nearby countries without the same number of immigrants. It does mention record low private investment into housing construction, but without any commentary why that might be the case, and again, that is unlikely to be caused by immigrants (on the contrary, as they should in theory provide relatively cheap labor for construction).

      Agreed, a fairly balanced video imho. Could have done a bit better, but all in all not bad.
