Discussion question purely for the sake of discussion:
Ireland is full of empty recent ghost towns, developers built then abandoned due to costs or rising prices etc. what are the pros/cons of just connecting the ghost towns to the water main and power grid and using the developments as housing for low-income families, the homeless seeking housing, etc.?
Very this
The number of new homes being built per annum (based on 2022 projections) has almost tripled since Varadkar became Taoiseach in 2017. They doubled in the 2 years following him becoming Taoiseach, and then stalled for 2020 and 2021 due to Covid shutdowns.
Losy beatniks…
He did try leaving it up to the free market.
Me: why is the story still open? I thought you said you finished coding it yesterday?
Dev: build is broken and I do not know why
Me: *glances at build logs* The error mentioning the exact line with a lint violation seems like a promising start…
Well the stuff they have been telling us that they couldn’t do( using fair deal homes for rent, modular homes etc) all seems to be possible now they created a refugee problem for themselves.
They tried something. Every policy is designed to get house prices back to 2007 levels. By that metric they’ve been successful.
FFG housing policy: Living with your parents in your thirties
Leo couldn’t sort out a trolley crisis in your local Tesco car park. Useless prick couldn’t get two fucks about anyone but Leo
I hate this because they have been actively creating this crisis which they see as a boon.
If any of the corporate buyers of entire estates go under, Fine Gael will bail them out instantly. They are literally the problem.
He should just bring in a bill to get euthanasia legalised and all the dumb morons will be out dancing in the street screaming about how wonderful and progressive ol’ Leo is.
I think the worse outcome is that they may (or currently are, probably) outsource contracts to build to foreign companies that’s spend e.g. €25m on building the apartments/houses, then they are not allowed to be for sale for 15+ years until they make minimum €50m. Then they’ll sell the properties for premium prices as if they were brand new.
Grow up! All you need to do is have rich parents so you can get a 100k loan/gift. These peasants have no cop on at all.
Ah sure look we all might get lucky and a billion euro/dollar corporation will buy up whole housing estates in bulk from under regular people’s noses and rent them out cheap. /s
Well they could stop there buddies jacking up rents.
