why?
ai:
it's totally possible to fix the housing crisis-countries like Ireland have the money, the land, and the know-how. The main reason it doesn't happen is because there's no real political will. Politicians are too tied up with rich investors, homeowners who don't want prices to drop, and a system that treats housing like a business instead of a basic need. So even though affordable housing would be super popular, they just don't go for it.

One in 5 TDs is a landlord, and that's only the figure calculated from those who have properties in their names (is, not including those who register under their partner, family members, etc)
Ireland is such a frustrating place to live in. I want to love it and have pride for the country, but it's so hard with this level of corruption

I’m not even being funny but why should the government built houses for anyone to just move in and if it were to be done don’t you reckon the people who owns flats are just going to get them and rent them out and not solve anything

It’s because the government profits off of the lack of housing. Creates demand on their properties to rent

Wait, you don’t have private construction? How? Zoning laws prevent it or something?

Ireland needs to relax it’s capital gains tax for middle class earners, it should have a stocks and shares ISA like the UK. The difficulty investing in stocks is what drives so many people to buy property as investments and drive up the price.

here in Germany there are enough houses/flats for everyone but the owners and company's keep some empty so the rest of them get more expensive...

They are building houses - in north Dublin, won't help students looking for a place to live. But what is worse is that they build so many houses but 0 schools.
