      FYI there’s a housing protest on Wednesday 21st May at 6pm outside the Dáil.

      These are tenements. Over a hundred years of independence, the country never richer and we have succeeded in resurrecting tenement living while also having the highest number of homeless people in history. Thousands of homeless children.

      Admin said it’s a feature not a bug. Think they’ve got a hidden agenda.

      I genuinely feel so bad for my kids man.

      My eldest kid is 18, going on 19. With their partner for 2 years and they had this whole idea and dream that they could move out when they both go to college. There isn’t a chance they could afford this.

      The sheer level of unadulterated greed and profiteering by large landlords, corporations and vulture funds while the the actual people are split and bickering over who’s fault it is. This is a shambles of decades of failure by the two same parties who happily watch us argue about immigrants, meanwhile the topic of vulture funds has left the conversation.

      We need more supply, and you’re not going to get adequate private building investment if rent controls exist.

      Remove the cap, take on the short term pain, and stop giving people the right to block their neighbors from building on their own property.

      We were building twice as much 20 years ago.

      Fg have completely normalised mass homelessness, and yet people rabbit on more about sinn feins housing proposals. I’ve never voted sf number one but at what fucking stage are people going to accept that the ffg government will not and cannot fix this issue, and maybe, just maybe we should try something else. For fuck sake wake up people, it’s fucking embarrassing how easily so many people accept this shit

      The government needs to treat this like the crisis it is and start building themselves. People have been saying that there isn’t the capacity to build as we don’t have the workers… well then start training them ffs! The crash was nearly 2 decades ago now. We can’t use it as an excuse forever.

      Also, we need to tax the absolute shit out of empty buildings, forcing the slimeball hoarders to sell immediately. And we need to convert all those empty floors above shops and unused office space into apartments.

      Finally, we need to ban AirBnB and similar businesses. I don’t care what that does to tourism. People need homes, not holiday homes.

      If they still refuse to do anything, then we need to ban landlords from politics. But since they’re sneaky and will simply move it into family members names we need to ban anyone with immediate family who is a landlord.

      I’m 100% convinced the situation is as bad as it is on purpose. Afterall, why would they increase supply and lower the value of their investment. These people don’t enter politics in order to lose money.

      We turned the country off and on again in 2008-11. It didn’t make things better.

      Good thing we punished the parties who have led the government during the last 2 decades in the past election, so things will definitely change now!

      It’s right in the city centre. I think if you take any major city in a western country and looked at rentals in the centre, you’d be making the same post.

      Hang on, who’s actually paying 3500 per room per month ? You can get a pretty luxurious apartment on the quays for 2,400

      The country isn’t failing, it is doing exactly what it has been set up to do. Enrich the political and monetary elite.

      There are countless methods to resist this but mentioning them will have me banned ASAP. Wonder who put those rules in place?

      This looks very the kind of stuff they were clearing in the 1950s and 60s — over crowded slums basically.

      People paid serious money to live in those back in the day too — the idea they were doss houses is largely false. People just paid huge % of incomes to rent a room in some building a landlord didn’t care about — usually had jobs.

      The ‘tenements’ were fine Georgian and Victorian town houses that had been let as flats by scumbag landlords who didn’t do anything except collect extortionate rent. That’s exactly where we’ve slide back to, we just aren’t using the same language.

      That isn’t “housing” it’s several beds stuck in a living room and charged an excruciatingly high price for because there are no standards and the bodies that should be enforcing minimum standards either don’t exist, or are grossly undersized and under developed due to regulatory and political capture.

      Ireland’s corruption has rarely really been about bribing police and officials —it’s about political classes turning a blind eye to housing issues because it impacts a whole class of small investors with influence.

      I can’t afford my own country at this point. I’m in the UK and I’ve my parents, people who don’t understand that Amazon Prime is not a TV channel, on at me over and over again about moving home and it never f*cking cuts through why I can’t.

      I saw a job in Meath I might be able to do. The problem? Basically this.

      I appreciate that we can’t just dump vast amounts of people into negative equity but something must be done. I’ve no idea what at this point but we’ve allowed parasitic NIMBYs to choke the country and we all know they’ll be wailing about the conequences in a decade or two.
