The problem with a lot of these people is they don't integrate with the local communities, normally by not learning the language.

Funny when this applies to Americans and not immigrant enclaves within America.

Failure to integrate is a huge issue, and it's currently tearing the UK and Sweden apart

And Denmark and the Netherlands according to several. But that's what I hear.

I lived in expat-friendly suburb of Lisbon, Cascais, and commuted into Lisbon or airport as needed. Terrible rush hour traffic, though it was years ago.

The upside is that they may be bringing in lots of knowledge and wealth. If handled properly that’s a boon for the local people and economy.

Everybody wants to hate, but if you are a local and able to get in contact with these people there can be a huge benefit to you too.

Such a bad take. These people aren't there to share money, or knowledge. They're there to live like royalty while paying as little as possible.

I mean, that pretty much sums up everybody, but it seems to only be the upper classes who paint it as altruistic.
