      At least there’s an election soon so we can vote out the people who caused this!

      Looking at this from Dublin trying to find the problem until I saw it’s out west because €1,300 for a 2-bedroom apartment would be an absolutely massive steal here.

      Because we stopped (more likely never started) building to scale

      Are you highlighting the overpriced apartment or the fact there is only 6 properties to rent in all of Westport ?

      €1300 a month for a fairly spacious and well fitted two bed apartment? That’s considered bad???

      My sick Dublinised brain has me thinking this doesn’t look too bad

    7. Supply vs demand.

      We are doing absolutely nothing to increase the availability of affordable housing or student accomodation, which drives more and more people into the rental market.

      And measures that were introduced to try and minimise the rise in rent, like RPZ regulations, while well intended, are driving even more people into the rental market as landlords are forced to sell their properties or choose to leave them vacant for 2 years so they can bypass these regulations.

      If two people were on a semi decent wage, that’s really affordable.

      Even on minimum, two people get €3,830 a month rising to €4,068 in 2025 which is still manageable.

      You know we have lost the plot when I am looking at that as cheap. Completely distorted.

      NIMBYs get what they are objecting against.

      Look, if you are not building houses and apartments, you don’t have where to live. It’s as simple as that.

    12. Ask FF and FG. The very same ones coming back into power now. Honestly, they have been shown time and again by the idiots voting for them that there is no amount of fuckups they can do that would sway their voter base to give someone else a try.

      Our planning laws demand perfection, requiring that every project has to make everybody happy, which drives up costs for everything.

      We only allow the absolute very best to be built, without ever requiring that people get value for money.

      The reality is that there’s very little wrong with an 80 or 90% solution, but those aren’t allowed.

      Because when it comes down to it, people can’t be arsed to vote.

      Look forward to more of the same or worse in the next 5 years 😃

    15. Irish people are self serving. This is happening because property owners keep jacking up the price as much as they can get away with. It will never stop, this is just the new default in this country.

      Repayments on a 250k mortgage over 25yrs are around €1500 per month. €1300 per month for a 2 bed apartment is not bad.

      There are about 5000 better examples than this on Daft. If you move down the road to Galway you’ll pay €2k-€2.5k for a 2 bed.

      It’s the same in Donegal, rent here is gone crazy the last few years.

      2021 a two bed apartment was about €700 and now it would cost €1400
