Did you ask to pay more for rent or a house? Didn't think so. Did your landlord/seller raise prices 'cos The Market™ allows them to be greedy bastards? I'd bet so. Maybe a picture will help: replace "refugees" with wichever group you want to blame for rising prices.
I was ready to pay more as my salary is much higher than an average salary from a local company (and I know, my gf has a local salary).
Remove the higher salaries from a place and rents will drop as nobody can afford higher rents. They did during covid, when a lot of people left Barcelona.
And let's be honest, I came from a good work situation to another good work situation, my move has nothing to do with being a refugee.
