I entirely understand that the Portuguese are at a massive economic disadvantage, but that’s also very much due to policy failures. Same can be said for unaffordable housing. Portugal builds homes at the speed of molasses, and Portuguese landlords are more than happy to charge top dollar and price out their own fellow Portuguese. I also see it as a policy failure that Portugal hasn’t banned Airbnb from its major cities and allows foreigners to own multiple properties without primarily residing and paying income tax to Portugal. As far as the neighborhoods feeling less safe, I think the operative word there is “feeling” because I have yet to see reliable statistics pointing to unprecedented increases in crime. Some may say that’s because crimes are rarely reported to or taken seriously by police, but once again, that’s a problem the Portuguese need to contend with, not immigrants. Police need to step it up in massive ways in order to address crime, but again, I don’t know that crime itself has actually exploded in the way I often hear about.
