  1. This is nonsense without reference to population growth. How much has our population increased in a decade?

  2. Looks the Netherlands are about to get bundled in with us

  3. When is this graphic from?

    y axis label states “Change in dwellings per 1,000 people over the past ten years”. But when was this graphic published?

  4. Needs a reference to the data/research.

    Otherwise, this could be my great aunt Betty’s insane drawings

  5. Striking how many Irish leave for other countries with the same problems.

  6. Just visit any continental European country and you’ll see there are a lot more apartments than houses. The English speaking world relies on houses too much (proven by data), which also creates a huge challenge in creating a public transportation network.

    To solve the housing and public transit problem, Ireland needs to build more apartments, not houses far apart from each other.

  7. Please don’t get fooled into thinking that European countries are doing something right when we’re not. A lot of European countries are suffering population decline. They have way bigger problems ahead of them than housing. Even countries like Spain that have seen modest population growth have people protesting because they can’t afford housing.

    In the mean time anglosphere countries have seen their populations boom. Most are economically successful and are open to migrants. Those that aren’t open to migrants can’t control the illegals entering their countries.

    Here are some rough estimates of population changes over the past decade:

    New Zealand +18%
    Australia +14%
    Canada +11%
    Ireland +10.3%
    USA +6%
    UK +5%

    Spain +2%
    Finland +2%
    Portugal -2%
    Italy -2.5%

    South Korea +2%
    Japan -4%
