Of course they are both good and very much needed. So knowing that, lets fucking build the housing infrastructure to support them first.

You don't start spraying water in your backyard before the pool has been built....

My worry is that there's so much NIMBYism against building housing so that if we slow down immigration for housing to catch-up then with the lower urgency we'll just not build.

Good, then maybe the government will have a sense of urgency dealing with NIMBYs.

Agreed. We need doctors and construction workers, but for some reason executives are still at the top of the priority list for express entry (assuming I read that morass correctly).
