My previous boss had the same job thirty years ago and bought a three bed house in Ringsend on a single salary. There is a fundamental unfairness in that. There is a reason why millennials like myself keep bellyaching. It’s a complete and utter waste of time comparing people across generations

And again, pushing people further and further out isn't a solution. It's also hard to take that advice from people who live right beside the city centre. I'm not suggesting you are but my old boss lived in Ringsend and told me to consider moving out to Newbridge with a straight face. I live in Galway mate, but I grew up in Swords, so I'm aware of the commute time to anywhere else in Dublin. TBH and despite the notorious Galway traffic, I don't envy anyone in Dublin their commute, but there is a trade-off between commute times, cost of living, convenience etc. If you want a short commute you're going to pay more, realistically.

It's obscene and unsustainable, the market is correcting a tiny bit the last 8 months but there is no value in it at all. The Clay farm development was disgusting. It was granted swift planning on the basis of being affordable. The prices were not affordable at all and the second phases prices rose 8%. I shudder to think what they'll be charging for the apartments that are being built.

I think the two beds were going for €300k which is definitely reachable. NIMBYs shot that one down. While a lot of this is due to the government, it's hard to imagine what exactly they could do to fix this. Would you consider cheaper suburbs? I see 3 bed houses in Swords going for about the same money. 2 beds are less and definitely reachable if that's your range. Part of the problem is people refusing to consider other areas to live, many for understandable reasons but a lot just want to have a better postcode.
