Re: the “richer immigrants” displacing citizens phenomenon is also poorer immigrants in households with many more adults than citizens. - 6 low income laborers sharing a two bedroom apartment can in fact pay more rent than one higher income adult who wanted that apartment for them and

their child or them, their part time employed spouse and child.

but I'll happily offer you a beer as per my bug bounty because that could have been clearer in the text: https://www.laurenpolicy.com/p/announcing-a-bug-bounty-for-this

Edited to add: I've added a footnote clarifying this, and adding that you were offered a bug bounty for lack of clarity.

Yes, agreed; "richer" here means "able to pay more as a HH", not "net worth".
