Just another permacrisis. It’s a feature, not a bug.

And we can’t do nothing about it, of course.

And we’ll be dealing with the pension crisis, lovely time to be miserable

The state of things in 15 years is a scary thought

Can’t be solved over 25 years, let’s try another 15

You’d of taught the word “crisis” would result in immediate action but I guess not

> In the central scenario, housing supply is assumed to reach 60,000 by 2030, a significant acceleration on the 30,300 delivered last year, “and then remain at that level until no longer required”.
> The report noted that the number of workers in residential construction would need to grow “considerably”, by 50,000 according to one estimate, “to meet these targets”.
That sounds very optimistic

Great plan to boost pension funds using rents from today’s young people. Who is going to pay those rents in twenty years when today’s young people aren’t having children?

Remember, we’ve turned a corner. Unfortunately though we’ve made 4 left turns so we’re just back where we started

Unless there’s a massive economic crash or the left get into government or both, this current situation will continue for the foreseeable. A lot longer than 15 years for sure.

Well that’s my entire working life destroyed. First 7 years – they bankrupted the country and destroyed the economy. Playing catch up for years and all the while they’re destroying the housing market. Now made some headway but there’s no houses and we can’t afford them.
I’ll never forgive these Cnuts. Never.

At least* another 15 years

Complete and total failure of Government. Every ‘responsible’ ‘solid’ ‘sound’ voter for the Government parties said ‘yes, more of the same, please’.

There’s an economic slowdown around the corner so I think we’re ok.

So I’ll be 45 years old by the time its no longer a crisis. Good thing I moved home to save money….

What if they just y’know, started building houses and putting controls on banks and landlords and kicked AirBnB to the curb?

The country that took 15 years to build a Children’s Hospital is going to build enough to solve the overall housing crisis in 15 years? I’ll take the over.
Btw, how is the Metrolink coming along? Will the planning stage be done in those 15 years as well?

If the measures from the Kenny Report published 50+ years ago were implemented we wouldn’t be in as severe housing crisis today.
Housing crisis is a slow motion crisis decades in the making and will take decades to level set.

Could be far less if certain politicians lose their seats, shame the only part of the Irish electorate who usually votes are the ones not effected by the housing crisis.

Talk about picking a number out of the air and pretending you can see the future. In this scenario, the most capable of the younger generations who don’t have rich families will emigrate for good, and those who don’t emigrate will burn the country to the fucking ground long long before that 15 years is up. And when our national politics becomes truly radicalized because so many people have zero option but to abandon the status quo parties, then how long will we keep those multinational’s factories and corporate taxes, our 500K little terraced houses, new bmws, skiing holidays and crassness?
