Le case bifamiliari suburbane sono responsabili della dipendenza dell’Irlanda dall’auto. Costruire alloggi più densi renderebbe più semplice organizzare i trasporti pubblici – Ciara Kelly

Be like Ciara Kelly. She car pools from her suburban dwelling with her chauffeur.
Dublin takes up 5x the landmass it should because of our lack of density. Imagine the kick ass parks we could have on top of the Phoenix park!
Why not write an article quoting actual experts.
Don’t see how anyone could argue with this. More people using a transport system makes it more economically viable. Goes for all amenities really. Once you’re out of the city centre in Ireland you’re getting in a car a lot because everything is so spaced out.
I don’t like Ciara Kelly and have always found her pretentious, arrogant and ignorant but she is *absolutely correct* here
For the commoners, not her
What is it they say about a stopped clock?
Guess she’ll move to high density low green space housing then… or has she already. Lead by Example, Ciara.
Fuck off Ciara
It has absolutely nothing to do with density and everything to do with a complete lack of public transport and alternative infrastructure. There are no buses. There is no cycle parking. Many newer parts of towns are hostile to pedestrians. Instead of restoring our old railway tracks we’ve turned them into cycle ways for leisurely Sunday afternoons, which you drive to and from in your car. And Dublin should have a fully-fledged wheel-and-spoke tram network, not two little disconnected Luas lines.
But no, apparently we should all live packed in like rats instead.
Complete and utter dross.
The main reason for reliance on the car is outdated public transport infrastructure.
I admit in the last 3/4 years there has been a vast improvement in Dublin.
We are over 25 years talking about a public transport connection to Dublin airport – which believe it or not from existing Broombridge station is just 8km of track across mostly public /green field sites to this day.
London has plenty of spiralling suburbs, Valencia also a similar sprawling city build around a medieval town.
We are still using diesel trains on now inner city suburban routes, Connolly to Maynooth should be electrified, so should Heuston to Athlone.
Build a new M60 outer urban route, but this time burry a rapid train system underneath!
The fact that Drimnagh, Phibsboro, Walkinstown, Greenhills, Cabra, Artane, Coolock, Rathfarnham, Tallaght don’t have rapid access to the city centre is beyond laughable at this stage.
It’s time FFG were laughed out of office!

Live the change you want to see Ciara 🙄
Actually there is zero excuse for Irish cities not to have proper public transport even at their current density, and people need to stop pretending there is.
Public transport is disgusting. Car all the way.
Suburban semi detached or detached homes are far better and nicer places to live though
How about we just try *anything* at this point? I’m losing my goddamn mind with this country.
