Ok in my experience they are. Or we could just do "yes they are", " no they aren't" without any reason .

You'd need to sharply reduce net immigration too or the shortage would never end while urban sprawl would continually expand.

You've seeiously underestimated the cost of extra infrastructure needed to accommodate a growing population.

You've seriously underestimated the costs of aging babyboomers with a falling population

No, it's unbalanced mass migration. We need a balanced and sustainable exchange of people without undermining social cohesion .

Trouble with that idea is that it either re-creates East Berlin / the banlieus or it creates slums for a future generation to clear up.
