“Considering that migrants cannot afford to rent new properties… moves must be initiated in which higher income households purchase or build more expensive accommodations for themselves in order to free up the less expensive housing for migrants.”

It’s not racism, xenophobia, or nationalistic Fascism, it’s the PHYSICS of unplanned MIGRATIONS (Teutones, Ambrones, and the Cimbri) …IRONIC, but never the less, might it have been CHEAPER and less painful in ended and destroyed lives if we had just ACTED when Assad crossed the so called ‘RED LINE’ and wiped out but the Alawite freaks of Assad’s inarguable fascism, and the salafi freaks of from the Sunni side of the fence?
I think I was wrong that we had no national interest there.
On this one, Mr. Graham and Mr, McCain appear to have been right that we needed to act, but let’s face it, there ARE NO MODERATES who will act to fill n the vacuum. The best realistic outcome appears to be a Sisi.

German woman threatened with eviction to make way for refugees
A 51-year-old German woman is being evicted from her home of 16 years to make way for refugees, with shelters already full across the country
A woman in Germany is being evicted from her home of 16 years to make way for asylum-seekers, amid growing concerns over how Germany will find accommodation for the hundreds of thousands of refugees flooding into the country.
Bettina Halbey, a 51-year-old nurse, has lived alone in her flat in the small western German town of Nieheim since her children grew up.
On September 1, she received a letter from her landlord, the local municipality, telling her the building was being turned into a refugee shelter and she had until next May to leave.
“I was completely taken aback,” Ms Halbey told Welt newspaper. “I find it impossible to describe how the city has treated me.”

• Hamburg city officials say that owners of vacant real estate have refused to make their property available to the city on a voluntary basis, and thus the city should be given the right to take it by force.
• “The proposed confiscation of private land and buildings is a massive attack on the property rights of the citizens of Hamburg. It amounts to an expropriation by the state [and a] "law of intimidation.” — André Trepoll, Christian Democratic Union.
• “If a property is confiscated… a lawsuit to determine the legality of the confiscation can only be resolved after the fact. But the accommodation would succeed in any event.” — Tübingen Mayor Boris Palmer.
• Officials in North Rhine-Westphalia seized a private resort in the town of Olpe to provide housing for up to 400 migrants

With existing shelters filled to capacity, federal, state and local authorities are now using legally and morally dubious measures — including the expropriation of private property and the eviction of German citizens from their homes — to make room for the newcomers.German taxpayers are also being obliged to make colossal economic sacrifices to accommodate the influx of migrants, many of whom have no prospect of ever finding a job in the country. Sustaining the 800,000 migrants and refugees who are expected to arrive in Germany in 2015 will cost taxpayers at least at least 11 billion euros ($12 billion) a year for years to come.As the migration crisis intensifies, and Germans are waking up to the sheer scale of the economic, financial and social costs they will expected to bear in the years ahead, anger is brewing.In Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany, municipal officials on September 23 introduced an audacious bill in the local parliament (Hamburgische Bürgerschaft) that would allow the city to seize vacant commercial real estate (office buildings and land) and use it to house migrants.City officials argue the measure is necessary because more than 400 new migrants are arriving in Hamburg each day and all the existing refugee shelters are full. They say that owners of vacant real estate have refused to make their property available to the city on a voluntary basis, and thus the city should be given the right to take it by force.
