FAKE NEWS!It says "young father" though?
Jesus Billy, i'm sorry you've had it so rough. Fucking Dublin and it's fucking houses.
That's horrible. And partly why I'm not really against these shared living spaces that some people are so up in arms against. If younger, single people are happy to live in shared spaces that will free up rental spaces around the city. It's pretty urgent that this mess starts getting sorted.It's really bad. A lady who works in the building I'm in is currently facing homelessness. She was given notice on the place she's renting six months ago and in that time she wasn't able to find anything. She has a nine year old daughter.
She told me one place she looked at had 183 people on the waiting list.
We were renting in England and experienced lots of trouble there too. This housing problem is not exclusive to Ireland but Ireland is rich and very sparsely populated. It's reasonable to suggest that everyone in Ireland should be able to have a home.

If Brexit happens, it's going to stall the Irish economy in the short term at least.
Assuming that the current house prices are a bubble and are a result of investors collectively holding out, it might collapse (again).
There is still this shortage of supply though.
Billy, if there was an apartment complex close to your job, with reasonable apartments, would you move in? I remember either yourself or Andy talking about the absurdity of sprawling tiny gaffs. Now that you are older, with family, would you still move in to an apartment?
For me that's the only solution. High rise apartments, close to your place of work, walking distance to shops and a place to store your bike.
Almost nobody builds apartments for sale anymore. All build-to-rent for sale en masse to institutional investors ie moving towards a "European" model.Don’t think I’d buy an apartment in Dublin (unless it was an amazingly built high-end penthouse that I cannot afford anyway) given the history of them lately.
Stuff not safe / fire-certified.
That and not being built properly to begin with.
Also Not owning below your floor or above ceiling, having to contend with being locked into paying extortionate management fees etc
As long as the government keeps letting big corporate cunts buying them up in bulk, it will, yes.Almost nobody builds apartments for sale anymore. All build-to-rent for sale en masse to institutional investors ie moving towards a "European" model.

So about the best you can get, but it's not great for small children. With no garden there is no safe outside space they can be let loose in. There are parks and gardens nearby, but going there means nothing else gets done, and a trek there and back carrying one or both.
I'd really love to know how much land they own in Ireland. Anytime the Catholic martyrs get to pontificate in national newspapers (so, every day) about how oppressed they are because people don't like that they want gay people to disappear my first thought is always "how much land does the catholic church own in Ireland."So Dublin doesn't get there's no other solution to this issue?
The solution is pretty simple:
- Seize vacant Catholic Church properties
- build decent quality 10+ story apartments, with green spaces and gardens
- run bike lanes and a tram line from the apartments to city center.
100% not possible in Ireland without massive changes. Right now i'm in the process of finding a gaff and putting my job (any job) next to it, fuck everything else.I find a job and put my gaff next to it. Fuck everything else.

Jumping in on this. We ware currently living in a rented apartment with two children. Our apartment is huge by Dublin standards, 98 square meters, two bedrooms, both ensuite and a separate wc, lots of storage. So about the best you can get, but it's not great for small children. With no garden there is no safe outside space they can be let loose in. There are parks and gardens nearby, but going there means nothing else gets done, and a trek there and back carrying one or both. If there is stuff that needs to be done inside they are stuck inside while it gets done.
We could buy a huge house for what we are paying in rent. But if we moved to somewhere where we could have a house I would go from being a 40 minute (walk or bus) commute from work to at least 2 hours each way, and that would be horrible.
What really needs to happen is realisation that technology makes it possible for most people to do their jobs without having to physically travel every fucking day to a different place than where they live. 99% of us could easily do our job from home, with probably fewer distractions, even with small children. I know I could, bar the few specialist tasks I need to do that aren't in the office anyway.
