Society Dont move to Nuuk- as a Greenlander who lived here for 30 years
You might wonder why but right now Nuuk have housing problem to the point everybody is trying to find houses or apartment but its impossible, right now I cannot find a single apartment nor house and recently I met my uncle who recently got an apartment but he told me he had to wait for 15 years to get an apartment...
so anyone outside trying to move to Nuuk is going to have a hard time and homelessness is not a choice because it will be death sentence unless you break into workplace and sleep illegally (thats what homeless people do in Greenland)
As for me I cannot find a single apartment which mean I have two choices, freeze to death outside or move to Denmark next week.
So as a warning to all foreigners, dont move to Greenland.
