Why is Dublin such a shιtty city?

You're way way way off here Ray. Majority of Coolock is ok, not amazing, but it's fine & safe, there's a few rough elements, but to think it's one of the worst neighbourhoods in Dublin means you haven't visited many of the rougher neighbourhoods in Dublin. Some of Southwest areas are much much worse, less amenities, much much more vandalism & anti-social behaviour & theft.

I rate it the same as Cabra, Finglas and Ballymun. I won't live there

Keeping your head down just means don't look like your looking for trouble. I've walked around Dublins city centre hundreds of times after dark and I've never been attacked.

Better than not doing it, dude.

Whats your solution, let them run amok around the area?

Yep rehabilitation. For sure 1000%.

thing about rehabilitation is that it’s a two way street requiring buy in by both parties…

person had a stroke needs to rehabilitate, learn to walk again, speech therapy etc… they invest time to fix themselves, them and the healthcare experts

a drug addict firstly put themselves into that position which they find themselves in, secondly if they are not putting in the effort, why should anyone else, ? it’s a waste of time…

yes addition is different but the onus can’t be on everyone else.

Ignore all the leftie whining.

How do we take back the street, so it can be great again?

I would suggest more Gardai patrolling, groups of 3, fully tooled-up, similar to Paris metro police.

I worked in the Abbey Street area, and I've seen a lot of stuff.

roaring, screaming up and down the street.

Drug users with missing limbs. The Euro Giant store on Abbey st, they sell 2 euro crutches.

Laneway behind Wynn's hotel, 2 bodies found one morning, no mention in news media.

What causes drug addiction and crime is poverty, and poverty is caused by the widening divide between the Rich and the poor. i.e. GREED.

"Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich."

Maybe, but outline to us what part of isn’t true?

That's true and plenty of people have been born into such situations, but the supports to escape yourself out of such an abusive situation and better yourself are abundant in this country. That's why you have so many people from all over the planet trying to get here and make something of themselves.
