The housing shortage in Glasgow is increasing tension against migrants in the city. The housing problem has generated conflicts between the local population and the refugees who arrived in the region.
Local officials defend that the solution to the housing crisis should not involve holding refugees responsible. Instead, they point to the need to increase the supply of available housing in the city.
This position of local authorities contrasts with the growing tension observed in communities, where some residents blame migrants for the housing shortage. Officials stress that Glasgow's structural housing problem predates the arrival of refugees and requires long-term solutions.
