Dublin’s demographic and economic magnetism is such that no plan will stop it, and nor should any try. As more than half the country’s tax take comes from Dublin, what’s good for Dublin is good for Ireland. The issue is how does the rest of Ireland respond.

Sultan_of_Ping wrote: » Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what an "uncalibrated" graph is? Do you mean to say that the axes of the graph that showed that SF TDs own (or have an interest in) land to a greater degree than any other party, was scaled in relativities or indices rather than in absolutes? Again, nothing wrong with that - for example, dose / response curves are often specified using such techniques as it aids understanding, likewise a lot of economic data is specified relative a fixed base and expressed as an index. Anyway, another poster was citing Lorcan Sirr, (lecturer in housing studies and urban economics with DIT/TU-Dublin) because he, to a degree, endorsed SF's housing policy proposals - it seems Sirr's bona fides have not permeated fully through the Shinner-verse.

Yurt! wrote: » Except the proposed model isn't to give it away to developers to practice arbitrage, which would be madness. It is handed over to approved housing bodies who will construct affordable housing for sale at more or less cost of construction. Way to miss the point, again. Fine Gael will simply never crack housing, ever.
