I always explain it along the lines of "increased immigration didnt cause the housing crisis, it was just the final catalyst needed for people to notice it".

Maybe the crisis had finally gone on long enough to be noticed or maybe people felt more comfortable now that had someone to blame but reality is this crisis has been decades in the making.

The moment cities started ripping out street cars and bulldozing buildings to build parking lots was when the crisis officially began IMO.
