It doesn't make sense that in such a country with so much space they can't build houses, especially as as migrants are mostly young and energetic, so what's stopping them from applying their energy to build - is it conservative planning laws ?
having a neighborhood in the middle of nowhere away from jobs is possible (and still happens, increasing sprawl and creating nightmarish commutes and awful car traffic due to lack of rail infrastructure) but most people move into the same high demand areas where people already live
Believe it or not, that land is used by nature to keep us all alive. The solution to population growth cannot be expansion into the greenbelt. More efficient, denser cities and PT are the way forward.
