Immigration Thread

As I’ve posted above it’s more expensive to provide electricity to such areas, the cost of repairing rural roads, the societal cost of car dependence etc etc

How is more expensive to provide electricity to a site next to Dillons pitch?
How is that one site impacting on the roads when less that two miles away you have an estate with well over 100 houses and another planned for across the road from it.
All who will be car dependent.
Do dillons have flood lights? Mains or generator?

Because if I have the permission to build my house, you have the permission to build yours and Johnny has permission to build his we’ve all added up to a fair inefficient road.

Looking at this through the lens of individual cases isn’t the way to go in my opinion. That’s why I spoke about the societal good.

They are a burden on public services that they would not be if they lived in an urban centre.

I don’t get it.

How? Although tbf I think you’re at least saying “a proper urban area”. This argument that it’s not ok to live in a one off house but you can live in Conna is daft.

Henry’s touched on it but there are too many estates out in the middle of nowhere. Both of my parents live in such housing. Neither wanted to live in such areas but it’s what they could afford. More housing in our towns and cities will help improve other issues such as car dependency, access to schools etc.

Yet you have no problem with an estate on the same road and another planned?
Would you think the road from Whites Cross to Ballyvolane is an inefficient road? There is over 1200 houses planned for that very road.

 

[KolaKubes]

But it does though because it’s not just one person building his own house in a field. That’s multiplied across the country. As I’ve already said it increases the cost of roads and infrastructure, drives car dependency and makes public services such as public transport, GP services, schools etc much harder to plan.

The young lad was in for his vaccine there the other week. Unlike when I was a kid, they now make you go into Fermoy for it rather than coming to the school. There was a kid there with his mother (I’d imagine refugees) who were after getting the bus into Fermoy and weren’t going to be able to get back in time to make it worth his while to go back into school. I offered to give them a spin but realised I’d only the one car seat in the car and didn’t want to risk it but it was a balls of a set up. That family has been living in Fermoy until recently as well.

I’d say it’s very efficient.

 

[Turf cutter]

It’s part of the reason but not the only reason. Ireland being such a small market for electricity is another.

I would say there is very little difference between them.

I wouldn't say Upper Glanmire, Whitechurch, Carrignabhfear etc are in the middle of nowhere, all have big estates there. My point is building a once off house on the roads between the city and theses three areas cost nothing to the taxpayer or providing services etc.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. Have enjoyed the debate all the same.
