Yeah put in on associations , no strikes will be seen than and gov can just say ouh but look associations are building those and can't get enough of them built. Sick
Had they started?
A different approach is needed. Despite the State building housing for 70yrs+ (at massive opportunity cost) the exact same social problem exist (or have become worse)
What pisses me off off is that the house's are kept in families for generations.. neighbour's have good jobs and a council house since the parents put daughters name on the book
Absolutely not.
How about we start first!
What’s with the term “social housing “ how about “ Affordable housing “, everyone regardless of their social strata should be able to afford a safe, comfortable place to live ,, after that they can acquire their own Holiday Homes ,,
They should start
Stop, no, they could look at starting though!
State has built any social housing in over 20 years. Remember when Journalists used to do research.
Thought the trouble is that they have stopped & that crippling landlordism has been substituted?
No they should actually start
That really depends on when they plan to start building social housing.....
They already have
Didn’t realize they had started
They have!
Shouldn't this be start not stop?
No. We could afford to build housing in the 1930s. We can afford it now. To hell with Thatcherite thinking.
'Should the State do even less than the bare minimum?' and other amazing takes by the Irish Times.
Should the Irish Times stop publishing crap like this?
Are you mental? The state should create an agency to start building houses like we did in the 60’s and also to manage them as a rent to buy scheme. It’s not rocket science.
Yes
Nope!
