  • But those regulations are largely controlled by local governments, not the federal government. Federal regulations can prevent building new housing in certain areas and conditions (like destroying habitat of an endangered species), but that is much rarer than a city council not approving projects or zoning changes because they want to keep property values high.




  • I can’t seem to access the first, so I will focus on the second.

    1.) It is a study of Norway, not Sweden.

    2.) The categories all kinda fluctuate, but the specific rates that are higher appear to be non-violent and the largest increase is traffic violations.

    3.) This does not show an increase in crime rates overall as a result of immigration.

    4.) Immigrant communities tend to be overpoliced which may explain increases in non-violent crime rates amongst the immigrant population (see this link detailing how Norwegian police purposefully focused on immigrants over the native population as an example of over-policing: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1362480619873347).

    I likely missed details in this report as I do not read or speak Norwegian, but if I missed something vital, feel free to highlight it.
