Yes, this is one of the main issues. The cities are decently equipped to absorb the immigrants, but stick them in a town or village where there's not really any jobs and you just end up with a load of unemployed people roaming the streets all day. Over here they brought in a policy of forcing all the different boroughs to take refugees once they'd been given residency, this has forced these boroughs who have no form of social housing to buy apartments to house them all in. I don't know if you saw this wonderful story from last week

That particular borough has spent £30m in the last 18 months buying apartments to house refugees. Sick of it.
