| Well she raised questions about the added strain immigration has had on education and the housing shortage.

Education is being strained mostly by year after year of budget cuts and constant interference by high up folk who apparently don't have much of a clue ; mental health provision is for students is, I'd guess, more of a strain nationally on the education system than immigration is. I don't have any numbers for this before a link is demanded.
The housing shortage is exacerbated by the lack of affordable housing - developers prefer to build big 4/5 bed homes as they make bigger bucks and private landlords can charge huge amounts of rent. Plus, weirdly, most folk like living where the jobs and amenities are. Got a senior town planner in the family.
