Far easier to fix the demand side than supply side. Much quicker too.
how many really/actually vacant houses were there on census night?
Demand keeps outpacing supply so need to limit demand need to do what new Zealand and Amsterdam did limit foreign purchasing of housing and punish buying housing as investments
The bay area is even more low-rise and spread out than Dublin. Bizarre
De gubinent should tax those Irish families some more to stop all the demand.
This is the exact same sentiment in the top post on the sub right now. AKA “someone else got a house and I didn’t and it’s their fault”. It’s such a shame how quickly people decide to punch down when it’s the system at fault.
