Questo è tutto ciò a cui potrei pensare quando guidi attraverso Connemara. Tutte le case vacanze vacanze sono imperfezioni sul paesaggio. Lascia che sia la natura.

It’s the most densely populated rural region in Europe
Everyone agrees they want more accommodation built. The objections only start when it’s in their locality.
Most of us wouldnt live in an apartment, not even as one of our holiday homes.
Apartments are better suited in cities. Rural Italy and Spain don’t have random apartment blocks.
To your point, the biggest waste of space is in Dublin. A lot of people won’t like this, but period Buildings take up a lot of space. Go on Google maps and look at how much space the Georgian gardens take up that would be better utilised as a high rise blocks.
Fragile egos needing to be propped up by their ownership of land. The number of cheesy McMansions with two eagle/lion statues either side of the entrance is hilarious. Absolutely ruining some of the most scenic parts of our country. Makes you wonder what’s going on in people’s heads – Tycoon Affective Disorder.
Sc-m like you are why there aren’t local families in those homes instead, why there’s tents on the streets. 15,000 homeless. All because you LoVe YoUr GrEeNeRy. That greenery is burying the townlands of the dead and emigrated. We should be as densely populated as the UK, but for the Famine.
The green is our people’s grave.
Yea but let people who want to live in the countryside to live there. Forcing people into urban centres is like something the Soviet Union would have done. Freedom to choose where you live, once you can afford to do so on your own, is vital to peoples independence. Plenty people need/like urban life, there will be no shortage of townies etc
Apartments are typically run by some local gangster that has to be top dog. It’s well known that the more built up an area the more corruption exists
Always have to laugh at these people who think the countryside should just exist as a pretty place for people from urban areas to look at.
Believe it or not, some people actually live there.
I also notice the OP is a fan of kneecap. Presumably would like to promote the Irish language. Yet doesn’t want anyone living in one of the few Gaeltacht areas left in the country.
Imagine the Connemara landscape, no houses, no sheds, no barns, no cottages. Just one large dystopian apartment block. 40 stories. Can be seen from Km’s away.
I rented a car and did a road trip around Japan about 10 years ago and was blown away by the lack of one off houses. You drive out of Tokyo or Osaka Takayama etc and there is nothing but wilderness till the next town. It was so nice to see, pure wilderness, the complete opposite of West Cork, Connemara or Donegal.
I hate the apartments too btw, but Jesus the one off holiday homes in Donegal are a blight on the landscape.
Are they all 600sqft studios?
Dear OP
Git facked

Rural Ireland
there needs to be a person with the powers and ambition of a guy like Robert Moses but instead of destroying neighbourhoods for motorways he builds affordable high density housing and tells the NIMBYs to fuck off
One can only dream
This is the reason the housing crisis isn’t and won’t be solved. It would be realistic and within reach if we just built up. What is this nonsense about protecting how Dublin looks. So many cities build high and look ten times nicer than Dublin.
Lack of housing increases poverty which continues the enshitification and filthiness of Dublin
Apartment living is the worst type of living in my opinion. Not much different to a prison cell except you can open the door and walk out.
I like having my own space and little bit of ground around my house, that’s my own outdoor private space. I live in the middle of a town, in a park, so I have very small ground but it’s nice to have and to call my own.
Although I do agree the holiday homes dotted around is a blight, it’s a lack of proper planning. I’ve heard Donegal described as a pepper pot countryside around the coastal areas with houses just dotted anywhere.
Windmills are fine tho fire them up anywhere
Connemara isn’t just for you to drive through and enjoy it’s a place people live , a small amount are actually holiday homes
I’m all for this. Every town in should start building up, it will revitalise every town center, in my opinion.
We are a small island, we won’t have any countryside in 2 generations unless we limit one off house and start building upwards.
There absolutely needs to be more apartments built in Ireland.
But there’s no way in hell I’d ever live in one again. Sharing walls and amenities with other people can either go great, or be absolute utter hell.
Right is better, but capitalism will mean it will be the left but with apartments.
The amount of people who live in the countryside but hate the outdoors and nature is always wild to me
Knew the comments would be septic. Ireland loves their detached houses. 😂
I was just taking a look in the comments of for and against building in rural areas. Could we not all agree that building control is needed, that areas of nature need to be ring fenced and protected?
Nature is an asset, it gives so much and gets trampled over in the name of ‘progress’.
While I totally understand the need to build more housing and maybe change zoning laws, Warehousing humans is also not a sustainable strategy either. People need space, densely packing people into blocks is not good for mental health.
Looks like German cities vs Irish cities. German cities have apartments but much more greenery, parks, cycle lanes etc while Irish cities have sprawl. English style housing estates.
Idk the home’s in Iceland 🇮🇸 all looked like sheds and the apartment buildings looked like prison blocks to me, yet every study says it’s one of the best places to live in the world. Not for me but what do I know.
