Sure, it helps alleviate things getting worse, but improving the situation is the aim, not just maintaining it.
I'm confused. We're saying that because immigration, the housing thing can't work.

Do you think we can fix the problem without a housing component, or no?

Our municipal government can't do much directly about immigration or migration, so isn't the housing aspect a very critical and pertinent component of the overall solution?
