Talk about closing the barn door after the horse has already bolted on the part of the Swedes. I live in Sweden and have seen this disaster in the making as if it were a proverbial slow-motion train wreck.
Simple third-grade arithmetic would tell the powers-that-be at an early date that if you have 100,000 beds and a projected 190,000 immigrants, that it isn't possible to have NEGATIVE 90,000 beds for those that come here. Not to mention that some 40 percent aren't even krigsflyktingar (refugees of war) but ekonomiska migranter (monetary immigrants).
Now, the provinces of Skåne and Blekinge will suffer greatly at the hands of this incompetence, as commute times for those working in Copenhagen will increase by at least thirty minutes and projected to be as much as an hour.
Then there are those in Copenhagen and other parts of Denmark who make daily commutes to Malmö by train, only to be funneled into the Tivoli of CPH airport.
The amount of money lost by this ill thought-out system will be staggering.
