Should we give people looking for social homes tiny houses.

    Something similar to this. It might stop them looking for a house. Maybe send them to Leitrim or something. It could be in the back arse of no-where as they have no intention of working.

    They dont look too bad.

    They want one beside the mother’s place, not down the sticks. The ones down the sticks are for the people who buy them and then commute into Dublin each day to work and pay the taxes that allow the first crew to get a house beside the mudder.

    Whatever about the tiny houses they should definitely try and shift people out of Dublin if they are stuck for accomodation and arent going to work anyway. Some rural publican will be delighted with their arrival

    Perfectly fine abode.

    But many 'homeless' people have multiple children.
    Stack up the bunkbeds like in the tiny houses I suppose is the answer.
    Oh, and condoms, don't forget lots of free condoms.

    This is what I love about Boards, the charming run on sentence thread titles that are almost like a stream of consciousness with no real context or indeed meaning.

    You see them all the time here.

    I'd live in one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 105 ✭✭Bill 2.0


    I live in a 3 bed terraced house on my own because it was the cheapest house i could find when i was buying.



    I'd love to be able to buy/build a tiny home on a fairly small plot of land but you just can't get planning for them in this country as a standalone dwelling and most sites are an acre.

    Would be a fairly interesting experience sleeping in one of those during the last few nights in Ireland.....:rolleyes:

    I’m 100% on board. More single person dwellings are needed. Many people in their 20’s & 30’s don’t want to live in a 3/4/5 bedroom house. Save them for fambilies

    The large sites are if you go rural.
    If you were to get a plot in a town, you could build a pretty small house on a tiny plot.

    What about the communiteee?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭Rodin


    Yes.
    Should be a very basic but warm and energy efficient home.

    If you want a bigger house then pay for it yourself.

    we dont want that riff raff moving down to the country causing trouble.

    Firstly the cultish American flags scars the sh!t out of me, It feels like your go on the electric chair if you don't salute every day.
    Otherwise families living like that would give serious antisocial behaviour.
    The alternative is build 10000 family homes so they can have 4 kids each at least doubling our population. so in 10 generations we will need 1,000,000 social houses just for the that generations growth. It's going to be such a lovely county then!
    There is no correct answer to this but do agree low cost and must accept minimal work or ffck off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,381 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    I'd be happy to live in that by myself. And would probably be cheaper than renting a room with roughly the same size.

    As said above, there are no properties for the single people. Even buying an apartment can be as expensive, or more expensive, than a full sized house. Makes no sense (well, it does, greed).

    No! Thou shalt build social housing with stables And be relieved when they acquiesce to move-in.

    If this did happen here, they would still have the Gaul to try and sell these homes at full price and increase the price of a concrete dwelling for people willing to buy.

    I'd say that neighborhood would need its own prison guards as well.
