Should I be allowed to open a chip shop from my kitchen window? or maybe I'll open a BBQ restaruant in my bank garden. Planning regulations exits for a reason. A private dwelling should remain that. If you want to setup a holiday rental business then setup a business and get the correct planning.

The government chose this route, i.e the crisis and rip off prices. I dont see why the rights of property owners should be impinged... within reason. Maybe have temporary price freezes or airbnb ban, for a period to address a situation. But doing it long term, because they actually support rip off prices, is impinging too much IMO...

OwlsZat wrote: » There is valid argument for rural uber and rural airbnb. There's no argument for airbnb in cities which we've a housing crisis or uber in cities where we've already a glut of taxis. It's the Governments job to legislate so we get the benefits without the downside. We didn't achieve this.

Mic 1972 wrote: » AirBnB didn't make housing for Irish people more expensive. People willing to pay high rents for nice central locations or for 4bed houses where 3 or 2 bed would suffice made housing expensive. Demands makes the prices go up

If they can get self catering accommodation for a few people with little or no eating out and a lower price than several hotel rooms they might decide to go. Someone might not come to Dublin if it was €1500 but might come if it was €600.

Even if this virus gets sorted out within 2-3 months the lagging economic damage will last quite some time. World governments stimulus packages will fail as people will a) either not spend the money, b) spend the money on essentials which they would've purchased anyway, c) only purchase items from big players such as Amazon, this will result in SMEs being crushed. Anyone who thinks business can just shutter for months and bounce back immediately like nothing happened is away with the fairies. Word of advice to those who absolutely NEED to sell their property, sell now and stomach a minor loss, in the long term it won't make too much of a difference compared to loses you would experience if you take the property off the market and put it back on within a couple of months/later in the year.

In fact, you've rather smugly been posting about how you're going to profit off the misfortune of others in the case of a collapse. For this to happen, you need panic sales, and you need buying to stop, two things you encourage endlessly on here, calling anyone doing anything else crazy / brave / whatever else. Are you trying to suggest you don't have vested interests and that people should trust you as some sort of impartial actor in all this?Everyone who has a notion of buying a house in the near future has a vested interest.
