  1. >Average ~~cost of rent~~ income of landlords across the country up by over 11% on early 2021

    One mans rent is another man’s income after all

  2. Depressing reading r/Ireland this morning. Clear as day, the housing crisis is the primary issue for the next election, they’ve turned this country into a hellscape. Get rid of this lot.

  3. Jesus fucking christ the wild west!

  4. Assar Lindbeck, a Swedish economist declared that rent control is “the best way to destroy a city, other than bombing.”

    Good video on how solving housing will help confront nearly every issue within our societies.

    This was a crisis 5 years ago, we’ve run out of superlatives to describe it now.

    Its important to remember: Your parents probably dont know just how bad it is. I mean yeah they’ve heard the stories, but until you’ve queued with 30 other people to just view an apartment, you dont really know.

  7. 2 years ago or just under (just before covid) we looked at a house/apartment place for 950 2 bedroom was decent enough but just had a few things we didn’t like space wise.. we seen it again a few months ago for 1300. Like?

  8. Had an MRBI phone survey the other day. Two of the questions were about property and rent value in my area. Had they gone up or down, and by how much? The highest band for an increase was “5% or more” (the lesser ones being 1 or 2% I think). I literally laughed out loud.
