Sweden is a lost cause. Nothing has materially changed over the last two to three decades of becoming aware of this 'problem'. Only that things have gotten worse. The damage is irreversible. They were led by the nose by an unholy alliance of neoliberals and left-progressives and now their country has become intractably complex and considerably worse.
Their only answer to this problem is by heaping all the (economic) burdens on the native population. Going to take at least a century (100 years) for all the (current) immigrants to 'integrate' (whatever that means at this point, rofl).
It’s honestly pretty ok if you get out of the cities. For example, I spent a bit of time in a place called Sala, and there was almost zero evidence of this, there. Pretty much the same in Borgholm and Kalmar (though I did encounter a few immigrants).
Pretty much, if you get out of Stockholm County entirely (and arguably a few of the surrounding areas), and avoid Malmö, Lund, and much of Gothenburg, you really won’t encounter much of it at all…
Not that it makes it all that much better, given probably 70% of Sweden lives in the places on that list, but still…
Also worth mentioning that Finland has started to import this “problem”, too…

Yeah... but cities rule everyone else.
Not in Sweden, most of the stuff affecting your daily life is decided at municipality level. There's 290 different municipalities.
