According to RTE News just there. Prime squatting time lads.

I don't need to squat anymore, my rent is only 50c a month now... but yeah, it probably is a good time

 

[Gambra]

50c a month?? How? Is it your ma asking it for the meter every so often?

 

[D0njo]

Ah no, it's been reduced considerably though.. thank fuck

I need to figure out rent stuff soon myself actually or start looking into what flats are empty in around town.. Time to finally leave home I think..

Do it. I got all the bitches when I moved out of my parents house. Well, not really, just one. I didn't actually get her though, too old. I just lived in her house in Marino for the first term of my college course. She was about 80, and I was the only other person in the house. When it wasn't terminally boring it was vaguely depressing. Don't do that.

That sounds great. Though that's just digs, not real moving out. I'll get myself a swish bachelor pad for myself and cry myself to sleep with the loneliness each night.

Living at home is deadly.

I COULDN'T EVEN CRY
Old ladies have a sixth sense for misery, I didn't want to upset her march of doom in any way

It would be if I lived in or at least near a town. The countryside gets to you after so many years.

The worst thing about moving out of your folks gaf is coming home absolutely wrecked and not having to do a mission impossible silent tip toe up the stairs anymore. I used to move like a six foot pissed up ninja cat when I was at home. My lady says she can here me stumbling towards her from the fucking street now. I had to do a tip toe on christmas eve and I nearly broke my fucking knee. Pathetic. I also miss having to convince my self that "you don't look off your tit's it's fine to talk to your folks" I suppose I could go home off my tits specifically for this experience but it's probably not worth it.

I walked by that recent enough development on Shanowen Rd. in Santry the other day, it isn't complete and as far as I can see, not one of its apartments is occupied.

Excellent photo project on the subject.

Very nice man to boot.

Thats a mad number to be free. England have started construction again as house prices have levelled out. It'll be years before that happens properly here with such an amount of oversupply. Alot in Regen projects having trouble selling so they'll eventually be sold as social housing I'd imagine

How many homes are there in Ireland in total? There can't be more than a couple of million, probably something like 1.5 million.

The empty gaffs are mostly in places that nobody wants to live. This is the problem and the outrage. Apartment complexes in Clara will never be any use to anyone, ever. 'We' should start to build again (or redevelop, build better) in existing urban centres soon.

This is a good thing, groups of crusty squatters can turn these complexes into impenetrable fortesses and then we can all go to the secret rave
