Jaysus trig. What do you consider middle class?
In Dublin, regular working people are having to live at home with parents longer and longer, even if they have a fairly good job. Maybe have a chance of getting an apartment in a concrete jungle out in citywest or blanch and and kind of stuck with something like that unless they get with someone who also makes a half decent wage then they might just get something with a bit of a garden near public transport. There is no east answer but one of the first things the government can do is start charging the f**king vultures taxes so its not as attractive to come in and with support of financial companies shore up the market. We have demand of housing now we don't need the vultures.

so much sh*te talk here. Of course there is a housing issue and it is different to before and it does hit the middle classes more than it did before but that’s the very definition of a housing problem when people who have well paid jobs cannot buy a house either in a couple or esp as single people. It was always hard to buy a house and you had to save and interest rates were high but a mixture of unemployment high interest rates emigration and single income families meant that house prices did not see huge growth until the 90s and the 00s. If a couple of a combined income of 100k struggle to buy a house now due to high rents and high house prices what chance does someone on the average wage of 38k have on their own. That is a housing crisis. So the tone of having a pop at “middle” class families moaning about the housing issue is a load of rubbish because it’s all connected. It was always tough to buy a house, now it’s down right impossible for many people and the renting situation is a disaster too. Greater regional spread of jobs and remote working is a partial solution to this but individually that works for some but it won’t for many esp people who work in jobs tied to Dublin such as a teacher or a bus driver or whatever it may be.

Hey us culchies have buses and schools too you know
Putting aside my crap humour it's stating the obvious by saying its a supply and demand issue. What it takes is political will to solve the issue. It isn't rocket science but for whatever reason the government seem unable or worse unwilling to tackle it and as a result they'll pay the price at the next election.

It's not. It's about vulture funds getting tax breaks and buying most if not all of the available property.

4% of properties are owned by these funds. There was a housing crisis before they arrived and there will be one if they leave. It is a supply issue as not enough houses haven been built since 2011 and now that supply is being constrained by entry to the market of such funds into buying already completed houses. Big issue is new apartments which are being built and bought by these funds. Anyone who thinks this is a recent event and will be solved by removing this issue has not been following this. There are many small factors but the biggest factor is lack of supply in the right areas. The lack of supply is for many reasons, cost or land, cost of debt, cost of building etc etc and developers and builders margins.

The last census showed that there were approximately 250,000 vacant dwellings in Ireland. Many of these will be in a dilapidated state and I can't understand why the government aren't CPO'ing all of these and redeveloping them for social housing.
Banning airbnb will address the lack of rental properties, as Covid has shown.

Where are the vacant properties though. No much good if they are stuck up a mountain or in a very remote area.
