      Just collect from the takeaway instead of waiting for home delivery. Simples.

      If only these were both solvable problems. Alas, we are doomed.

      So we obviously have a severe housing crisis, but this report is BS by a real estate company.

      >It said population growth in comparison to housing delivery between 2015 and 2023, shows that 3.8 people were added to the population for every one new unit of housing delivered

      Okay. But the average number of people in a household in Ireland is 2.74. Even in 1990 that number was 3.34, so this report would suggest Ireland is over delivering on homes.

      But is the 2.74 figure healthy is what we really should be asking.

      And while we can’t force people not to have kids, we can in fact control the number of people who come into the country.

      But we’re not allowed to, apparently. So supply is outpaced by demand, and landlords reap the benefits.

      Uncontrolled immigration led to Brexit.

      We are facing the same issues. Our population growth isn’t sustainable and huge immigration and a housing crisis leads to anti immigrant sentiment.

      Far right parties are making huge gains across Europe and we need to figure out something quickly to tackle that.

      Can’t allow the far right to get a foothold in society.

      If people objected less, number of new home would be twice the population growth

      Is anyone shocked by this? And I suspect the numbers as presented were kind of massaged.

      Between planning, construction, finishing, letting or selling it takes years to build a house. With the existing backlog of people needing housing and more arrivals daily we are never going to get on top of the situation. It’s just not going to happen.

      And the problem is if we were to build masses of estates nationwide the minute there is a short sharp economic contraction or recession people will flee the state and we will be left with a mountain of ghost estates that will make the crisis in 2008 look like the good old times.

      if you control supply you control demand, if demand is high the price is high – this does not take a genius to figure out, why build 4 houses when you can sell one at the price of 4? all you need is keep demand high. – Listening to the government waffle on about how many houses ‘they plan on delivering’ – they only grant the developers permission to build houses, they do not actually build the fucking houses themselves – why would any developer rush to the marketplace when the price is going up every day?
