Having such a nice home set up is fantastic and will provide a great platform to better yourself with work so that you can try to save up in order to get your own place. I don't have a gym included in my rent, or a concierge to sign for my deliveries. Having a pet is allowed but it is not normal in private rentals in Ireland. Essentially, they should shut up.

Common sense should tell us that The guy on about the gym wanted to pay for it The couple on about pets, was more of a story about a family missing their dog maybe dressed up a little for shock value. They said they missed their previous accomodation I think this story is a little dressed up when the real story is the lunacy of buying in this development for social purposes

It also serves to prop up rental prices against the interests of private tenants who have to pay with their own wages
Colony Capital is the funding partner for the numerous developments being delivered currently by Johnny Ronan’s Ronan Group Real Estate (RGRE). These include Salesforce’s new European headquarters at Spencer Place and the Project Waterfront site in the Dublin docklands, the 23-storey Aqua Vetro tower on Tara Street, Fibonacci Square, and the 350,000sq ft of office space RGRE is delivering as part of Facebook’s new European headquarters in Ballsbridge. It remains unclear, what impact, if any, Colony’s efforts to dispose of its other Irish interests will have on its arrangements with RGRE. While Colony said last Friday it was in “active negotiations with all lenders” to extend debt falling due this year, it warned there could “be no assurances that the company will be successful in such negotiations”.

Mr O’Brien told officials co-living could “potentially have a negative impact” on programme for government goals to deliver 50,000 social homes, and focus more on home ownership and cost-rental models. There was also a risk that due to the number of beds in a single development and the number of applications, land prices could be driven up by the developments.

It’s 4x3! Large enough for a king size bed and wardrobes and probably a desk

Little reminder to people that this pandemic needs to be paid for. I'd imagine there will austerity down the road as we emerge from the crisis which could impact affordability and house prices.
