The ESB already know if a house is being occupied.
Every house in Ireland now has a eircode and an mprn.
It’s fascinating that politicians won’t use the tools they have
What are you talking about lmao. I have been in those docklands apartments recently for parties and to visit friends. They are at near 100% occupancy.
“A Chinese”
Although I don’t disagree in principle that property as an investment vehicle is harmful to society… you could argue that the situation in China is far more complicated than Ireland.
For example, the mass migration of rural people to urban areas since the 70s and the cultural pressure to have a home before marriage is much more consequential; people in China often put down deposits (with support from their entire families) on properties that may not even begin construction for several years into the future. Of course, this is a problem with regulation and developers taking the piss and running large-scale Ponzi schemes e.g. Evergrande.
Nonetheless, really interesting to see such developments from the ground like this.
Loving his line “they just occupy the pit and don’t shit”
obvious solution, everyone move to china?
Load of shite. Dock lands is genuinely nice to live in and most people who aren’t arseholes or NIMBY’s wouldn’t begrudge their existence
