- i came expecting to read something about how taking no immigrants has helped or something along those lines - has there been any studies conducted on how 10% immigration affects a country's economic outcomes?

The link I provided is a builder and the standard cost for what's considered somewhat high end modern construction. Tons of new homes like this BTW. Your link is just expensive homes on real estate with varying levels of build quality by the look of things so not exactly comparing apples to apples... If you just want to see expensive real estate in Czech Republic (I know, not Poland, but still Eastern Europe) here: h…
Ah, I can't read Czech so I didn't know :P P.S. I'm not trying to prove anything, I just thought it'd be interesting to compare. I think my original comment about top of the line houses in Eastern Europe came across as combative/challenging when I didn't mean it to.
Anyhow it's a funny place. My wife's 92 year old grandma had to be forced to add heating and an indoor toilet to her 100+ year old farmhouse (old people are stubborn) meanwhile, her cousin in the same village has a modern home with solar panels and every convenience you can think of (including AC).

Wrong. I’m a 40 something ethnic minority guy and I voted to leave. Back then I was in my 30s. Whats true is that remainers were more vocal and loud about their message, whilst the silent majority did what silent majorities do .. quietly won, they always do.
you’re in the minority of under 65s who voted to kill the economy and take away freedoms. You’re in the minority of workers (assuming you work). Nobody claimed no one under 65 voted for Brexit, just the majority. At your age in rhe 25-35 bracket you were outnumbered 2:1. If votes were weighed by years you have to live with it remain would have won with about 65%. I hope you’re enjoying it.
This is also why ur weight votes by years left to live logic is flawed .. democracy is basically one person .. one vote .. not one vote weighted by how many years you have left to live .. it wouldent be fair I I ask u to start weighing votes by how much taxes you pay, dependants u supporter or years worked .. would it ?
PS: I do work

What a weird comment. Most people who go through bankruptcy don't become homeless. And most people who go through medical treatment don't become bankrupt.
If it happens much more in US than in other countries - it contributes. There's about 500 000 medical bankrupcies in US per year. That's huge. Also - medical debt (not even bankrupcy necessarily) contributes significantly to homelessness: https://publichealthpost.org/health-equity/medical-debt-home... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32513034/ > two-thirds [of homeless interviewed] reporting current medical debt.

The US healthcare financing system is a disaster and needs reform. But if you look deeper into the alarmist reports about medical bankruptcies you'll find that they're lying with statistics to push a political narrative.

Where healthcare is free at point of use, many of the advanced cancer treatments aren't available at all. This is one of the reasons why the USA is at or near the top in survival rates for most types of cancer.
See my original comment. These advanced cancer treatments are often not paid for by insurers.
