Gonna be honest. It’s nice that it’s not the millennial one waiting for the housing crash
Good old White Ninja.
Can’t imagine Dublin City Council will, since they’ve probably not got much left after building a new operations depot up by IKEA, which reportedly cost €50 million.
all the builders went to the states to build houses 20 years ago and never came back

Everyone needs to keep a close eye on RZLT land value tax, going to be a massive push back against it by all the very powerful/wealthy people who benefit from the housing crisis. Some examples of pushback/bullshit already:
But then the rent for the politicians 2nd homes might go down and we can’t do that!
Well if you all keep voting for neoliberal parties you get neoliberal policies.
Ireland is the richest country in the world according to GDP per capita (both nominal and PPP & excluding microstates/city states)
It’s fucking outrageous people complain about not wanting tall buildings etc… just build some nice apartment towers and be done with it… there’s no excuse!
This would make property and rent go down. Who would be happy about that?
We need proper infrastructure, national fibre, good motorway network,good high speed rail network etc… Then things can become less centred around Dublin, Cork Galway, Limerick and people can work from home anywhere, if their job can be done remote and commute quickly if not.
You can more readily divide and concur the housing shortage problem then.
I went to view a house yesterday. The estate agent said he was expecting a 20% drop in prices and stabilisation this year but the fact that approved housing bodies are swooping in and out bidding everyone off the bat is even killing his business.
We have middle income earners in hotels now because they don’t qualify for the only houses available.
This is fucking insane.
This is a surprisingly popular meme when all too often we see popular posts along the lines of “no, not those houses” when it’s build to rent, or co-living or expensive developments.
I’m a simple man with a simple idea, how about just all houses and flood the market with supply rather than some weird desire for ideological construction?
And hospitals, and prisons, and the M20, and the Dublin metro, and the dedicated bike infrastructure, and the tram lines in the smaller cities, and the DART Interconnector, and electric commuter trains in Cork, and electric trains everywhere for that matter, and trains at all in a lot of the country for _that_ matter…
Let me guess, you want a house right next to the Spire?
They are building homes in my area but the fecking price is insane, a 3 bed house in an estate is 420,000. Tell me how a working family can afford that.
Government full of landlords say “we can’t solve this overnight (or over 13 years)”
Lads, I’m trying but none of you will pick up the tools and help!
Seriously though, I’m on a site now at the moment and there’s another 2 or 3 years left on it. About 40 houses and 2 blocks of apartments.
The builder has another site down the road waiting on us with planning and everything. Maybe another 100 houses and 5 or 6 apartment blocks with shop units on the ground floors. Beautiful development so it is.
Can’t be done until we get done where we are. There just isn’t enough people in the trades anymore.
Expecting the Irish government to do anything worthwhile is like waiting for a unicorn to appear
C’mon… Quit having children you can’t afford.
“Tax May be imposed in 2024”. So 2032 then.
I am not from Ireland but if people are going to keep building just small houses and create enormous abominations of suburbs then the housing crisis will never end.
