I would suspect that their birth rates are still somewhat higher than the natural born average. Bosnia also isn't in the most stable place politically right now, another Balkan war isn't out of the cards in the medium term. I'm sure DB could probably speak in more detail about it. Not that our current administration would likely allow more Muslim refugees into the US should that occur

I get that relaxing housing rules to allow poor people to live in more dangerous conditions is a dangerous slope. The guidelines outlined in that bill are not that. It’s perfectly reasonable.
This is/was just an example of needless overregulation from the city, largely impacting new house construction I assume.
