Dublin... Is a fucking shithole

[TheOutdoorThreadmill]

Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin had practically identical policies wrt building houses in their pre election manifesto i.e. build 100,000 social/affordable homes over 5 years.

SF then get ridiculed for offering everyone a free house while FF don't. Funny that.

Q+A: Here's where Ireland's political parties stand on housing and homelessness ahead of the election

We asked each political party where it stands on housing and homelessness policies in Ireland.

www.thejournal.ie

Fianna Fáil: The party said in its response to TheJournal.ie that it is committed to building 50,000 new social housing units by 2025. It said these units would be made available as part of the ‘Home First’ strategy.
Sinn Féin: Over the lifetime of the government, the party said in response to TheJournal.ie’s questions that it would deliver:
100,000 public homes on public land; including 60,000 social homes, 30,000 affordable purchase homes and 10,000 affordable rental homes

That is just sheer bad luck.

You cannot legislate for that and a solicitors letter should sort him out.

Yeah, a legal letter will put manners on a traveller, that's right boss..

at least they're somewhat away from decent folk. You start putting them in "mixed developments" you're putting them on law abiding tax payer's doorsteps which doesn't seem fair imo.

In fairness it is always only a few families in an estate that can drag a whole place down and the closer they are to decent folk the better so they might behave better.

Give deprived people access to better housing etc pays off in the long run for society.

SF & FF have entirely different approaches to achieve that goal.

SF want the State on the hook for everything while FF want a mix including private developers on board.


Both will fail.

Your poor experience is disappointing but in the main an exception.

Mixed developments have worked in Cork which is why we have not had problems to the extent of Dublin and Limerick.

Estates like Kenley in Bishopstown off the Model Farm Road are a good example.

Placing people from a deprived socio-economic background into an area rammed with 100% social housing leads to ghettoisation and Part 5 of the planning acts demand at least 20% of the houses or land is set aside for social housing.

We do not want the place to end up like West Belfast.

Kenley is not really a mixed estate, at least not in the modern sense of the term where social and private houses are mixed up all over the estate. Leesdale is seperate to Kenley, in fact you can drive into Kenley without going through Leesdale and vice versa. It's been years since I was there but I remember a large green buffer zone between them etc.

Your wan was unlucky to get bent over a raspberry doughnut and it bursting across her face. It clearly impaired her vision so the referee was within his rights to stop the fight.
