I haven't lived there in years, nor do I have exact numbers, but they make national news enough for the same problem nearly every year. I'll drop you some links if you care.

1 - 38 million between 2017 and 2022.

2 - 29 million in 2023.

3 - 12 million in settlements in 2025.

Dare I keep going?

The region's GDP is 100 billion dollars, so these are tiny amounts, although they may seem large to some.

And the first article you link proves that people are already worried about it. You think they can safely 10x that?
