    It's not that simple at all. Some of the 'soft' cost provide services for the area. Sewage, water, electricity... there is a reason why you have to pay for water connection.

    I'm not saying it will be simple. Its a truly ambitious undertaking.

    But the fact remains, what will happen if those homes are not built.
    Young couples can no longer afford to buy homes, the government is spending huge sums of money renting private properties for social housing and that is simply not sustainable.

    Unfortunately we are we we are because for 20 years governments have all but abandoned capital spending on housing and it has caught up with us.

    Me blaming one party, you blaming another isn't going to fix a thing.
    it doesn't matter whether it is a SF government or a FF/FG government those homes will have to be built.
