Yes. My husband and I were debating this topic few days back as it was extensively covered in the quarterly 'Swiss Review' magazine we receive.

The main areas that the Swiss people complain are noticeably affected by "increased immigration" are the usual suspects: housing, education, healthcare and transport. There is also a worry that areas of outstanding natural beauty will continue to be whittled down as the country responds to increased housing needs by building new homes for 'newcomers'.

There is no linear solution to the challenges that CH faces as a result of free movement but perhaps it is a positive that they have held back on being part of the EU and can therefore invoke these clauses when necessary.
