The Worst Thing About Dublin (3 Viewers)

[Ferox13]

I think we'd be better off with a few dozen 20 or 30 storey ones over a smaller area. I think Dublin would work better that way.
I might be wrong though. I'm not even from Dublin.

We could call it Ballymun 2

I don't buy this "let's go high-rise" idea. The high density housing in Dublin is almost without exception depressing to look at and live in.

 

[classic seanc]

Why are yee all talking about high density housing??

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

i dont want to live in some a highrise either, regardless of how many other people live in it. i want to play loud music without annoying the neighbours and i want a garden with trees and a shed.

 

[classic seanc]

Here, jaysus...I never talked about high density housing. When I mentioned tall buildings, I was referring to tall office buildings, which people work in, who need to get to their work, so they need good public transport infrastructure, and therefore we get good public transport in Dublin.

I don't know what the rest of yee are talking about with you're high density accomodation. High density residential areas do not yield good public transport, people don't travel between different high density residential areas.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

oh stop going on about high density housing seanc

It's very hard to have good public transport in a low density city.
It's not affordable.
You have one thing or the other.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Well most people in this city are dense, chortle.

 

[Cormcolash]

This thread is dense

Nonsense just because it's difficult doesn't mean impossible or that we should just put up with poor service because it's hard to fix. They had a ten year boom to address mass transport issues and built two lines of rail that don't even meet it's not like they can throw their hands up now and say "we tried so hard to fix this and nothing works".

It's not time for the plan voisin just yet

Yes it is. Lets destroy Paris and build a new high rise Dublin there instead, they've got good public transport. Take that Thierry Henry.

Destroy Paris, Build Dublin?


That cant be a bad idea can it?

I've run it through my head a few times, I can't see anything wrong with it, cant see us having any problems with planning permission an way.

Its what Le Corbusier would have wanted.

Listen, you fuckers, you screw-heads.
Here is a man who would not take if anymore.
A man who stood up against the scum
the cunts, the dogs, the fifth, the shit.
Here is someone who stood up.

Can we have both Con and Washing Cattle in charge? They seem to know what it takes to fix this country although I'm not sure about Con's motives, does he just want rid of Dublin so Galway will be capital of Ireland?

 

[D0njo]

tim could probably be the muscle, he's got the skills

I hate the fact that Dublin is too small to avoid people successfully.

Very true.

Especially when its some one you disliked in school from some bog forgiven place in Wexford catching your eye line. Happened a lot when I went out last year but I didnt think that was down to choice of establishments, coming over and hugging me etc.

I just dislike so many people.....

Oddly enough I've never been there... Tripod, City Bar, 21's..... Never coppers though. I suppose I was asking for it the one and only night I was talked into going to Quinns.

"Oh it'll be fun, they'll play dancing at the cross roads and we can position ourselves like the team of 96 like we did that other time."
