Anything to add to the conversation apart from a pointless pop at another poster?
The accusation was made these are unaffordable. It’s turns out, quelle surprise, they are affordable
As I said no need for makey uppey stories or snide comments or anything. That’s the only point that’s relevant
We got to it in the end but it’s hard work isn’t it?
Are you becoming dillusional, I made no makey uppy story, posted a scenario based on a minimum wage, didn't get into your back and fourth nonsense over affordability, even started my post stating I've limited knowledge on percentage of rent affordability and didn't even direct my post at you, I then corrected your bizzare critism and your still at this point scoring nonsense. As for snide comments, your quite the expert and this latest nonsense is as a result of your very own and continuing snide commentary.
Im convinced you'd argue with your own Shadow 😳
The original claim made by Ha Long Bay which you have eventually come around to disagreeing with. Progress I suppose.
So a brand new 1 bed apartment at €1K a month is in my opinion perfect for a working couple. I would call that affordable.
What he/she should have said is what you are now saying.
just pointing out that 1,000 a month is not unaffordable for some people, it is for others.
This was the original claim......
Is it 'unaffordable' for some, as you just claimed?
Yep. So nothing untrue about that claim.
Some startling reports today on the Housing crisis, Rental Market, ERSI report, this crisis getting worse by the day.
ERSI Reporting over half of those Renting their Home getting government rent support.
Quote from Indo Article (Not Makey Uppy) 😏
"Huge discrepancies in rent supports nationwide are leaving some low-paid tenants without any help while tens of thousands of higher-paid workers get financial assistance.
Major inconsistencies are laid bare by the ESRI today showing the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ of the country’s rent support schemes.
The stark report shows that more than half of households that rent their home get State support to cover the cost, indicating how severe the rental crisis has become.
The think-thank study found that around 20pc of those who get funding to cover the cost of renting are among the top half of income earners"
Affordable housing is aimed at a section of society, generally those on lower incomes. The higher an income (or joint income) is, the more affordable this housing becomes.
Problem is, some of these so called affordable housing projects are even out of reach of those that they're intended and marketed for.
Take a super yacht for example. It's highly affordable to Elon Musk, but I would suggest less so to someone on 120k a year salary.
This is not a difficult concept to understand. You seem intent on erecting obstacles for the sake of it.
And rain is wet. What do you think the term affordable housing usually refers to. If there were such a thing as unaffordable housing no one would make money on it, would they?
The day at the Races is up next for discussion on the Claire Byrne Radio show, this will be interesting, Several Government TD'S were in attendance.
Free Booze and Free Food all day, they isn't it well for them.
FFG offering no Comment, not even about how good the free food was 🙄
Still haven't 'learned the lesson' of getting out in front of a story. Too busy learning other lessons I suppose.
Indeed 😏 albeit I bet (no pun intended) there's very little the spin teams could say to justify this carry on.
The optics are so so bad. I wonder were there any developers in the tent.
It's actually beggar's belief, they claim no discussions (Lobbying) took place about Betting but it would seem an unnamed large betting company has been be asked for comment.
These FFG TD'S and Senators seriously must think people are Stupid. Didn't think Regina Doherty enjoyed a flutter 😏
Depends on your income. Seriously you've been told 3 times.
54% or renters receive support for housing costs. All so we can continue to follow the FF/FG model of lining private pockets.
What did Scare Byrne say about it? Any names yet?
At least they were kind enough to be publicly brazen. Bunch of Sharpies on the make.
They were all named,, I just picked up Regina Doherty and got distracted but all FFG oireactas members. She was interviewing the reporter who broke the story, more to come I suspect, should be available on podcast later
So the bookies just invited them out for a day at the races out of the goodness of their hearts and they expect people to believe this. Its like the time Seanie and Cowen were playing golf together and never discussed what was going on in Anglo.
Of course they did 😂
This is how we treat our old people
Over 75s waiting nearly 14 hours for ED admission (rte.ie)
Over 75s waiting nearly 14 hours for ED admission - data shows.
The average waiting time for admission to hospital emergency departments last month was nearly 14 hours for people 75 years of age and over.
Data from the HSE, provided in reply to a parliamentary question from Sinn Féin's health spokesperson David Cullinane, indicates that the waiting time was nearly twice that duration in two Cork hospitals.
The HSE provided the data which shows that the average waiting time for the 75-year-old and older cohort is 13.75 hours.
In Cork University Hospital, the average delay was 28.8 hours, the Mercy Hospital in Cork was 26.8 hours and the University Hospital Limerick was 22.2 hours.
A well worn rule of thumb is that 25% of your net income is what is considered the optimum level of an affordable rent. (You should check out DIFFERENTIAL RENTS)
This of course works out at around 30-35% of gross income generally.
I don't know why you're beating this drum with your random exclamations of "So €1000 is affordable".
Appalling 😳
Meanwhile very heated debate and swift reaction to plans for Autistic children in schools.
???
What the point of this post apart from trying to have a pop at me?
You are an exhausting fellow.
Thank you
Sorry but you just repeat what was already discussed and then had a pop at me, I was confused
No comment from the Govt fan club of McGahons assault case or a day out at the races
1,000 is affordable to some though, that must be got across
Oh Darragh what have you done now
Irish Examiner retweeting this before we get the nothing to see here brigade on
Every decent move requires public outcry or a scandal. Useless government.
