Ireland …. It just doesn’t feel like home!! 🙁

Post did not say all bohs fans but that there are hipsters who are bohs fans because of the image.

Just like not all rovers fans are scumbags but there are scumbags who are rovers fans

...no such thing as market equilibrium, never has been, never will be, its not how our reality works at all....

....with our serious supply problems, and no real solutions in sight, both rent and property values are set to be maintained....

ah shur we all know, our property markets are wrecked for a very long time, possibly indefinitely.....

How?

He looks like his correct doesn't mean he has an agenda.

Your 'agenda' is what, to point out he is right lol?

North inner city stretching out to Broadstone , East Wall, Five Lamps , Phibsoboro and Dorset street is a fraction of what it COULD be. The development of Broadstone demonstrates the potential is there but a long way to go (if you actually walk around Broadstone you see quickly it's no Rathmines although prices have already rocketed up).

The situation is not helped with LARGE parts of o Connell street (even the Holiday Inn is refugee housing now!) Talbot st, Mater hospital area, Dorset street and Phibsoboro and Whitworth road and North circular and of course East Wall being occupied or bought up for emergency accommodation, ISP housing and homeless type shelters (when they already had a lot of council/housing) . It feels like an undeclared policy to move all this to North of the Liffey as much as possible ! Just shove them in wherever they can over there .

I was away for many many years so have a good comparison point to refer to for the North Inner city, in general it hasn't really improved. Parts are definitely better, and parts are worse. Mostly it's static e.g. Phibsoboro area even with a few interesting places opening up mostly it looks like shite. It's disappointing because the money is supposed to be there after TREMENDOUS GDP and TAXATION GROWTH to do better but it's neglected by the city and national government. The feeling you get when walking around many districts is just a bit grotty. That's a fact.

Actually it's not only the public purse, you don't see any major new shopping developments either across almost the entire city even though the population has skyrocketed! In a normal capital Phibsboro 'shopping centre' would have been razed to the ground years ago. There should be multistory shopping centre there with gyms and other amenities..but...nothing.

Nah it isn't it's you who has the agenda. If you haven't got anything decent to say except to attack another poster why bother commenting ?

You are adding zero value here.

That's the problem with Dublin in a nutshell.

Anyway money is mightier than everything if you have enough can even buy your house, forget about pens and lawyers 😉.

Many of us could BUY our way to a nicer postcode but real Dubs should want a better city for us all. As soon as you step outside the enclaves or get on public transport we will all face the same issues.

Dublin North is not exactly Ireland as a whole.

But in general Ireland as a country sure has changed.

Some things for the better, housing and the high cost of living in general are the main problems, I'd say.

Thus everyone has more personal pressures in the daily life.

I think those foreigner who move to Dublin move for a job and that's usually something decent in salary to either pay the high rents, or afford a room in a shared housing arrangement for up to 1500 Euros per month.

The indigenous scum is most likely made up by those who feel disenfranchised, and have bleak perspectives, no chance on the Irish housing or rental market, low paid jobs and not only in Ireland, but also overseas.

And then there are those who are honest, law abiding, but barely getting by and working more and more for less and less money. No chance of a nice chat, a nice hello, etc.. Socially Ireland has definitely become a colder society with rising costs everywhere.

Those "ghettos" are sadly often more Irish than foreign.

Look at Jobstown or Huntstown or Hartstown or around Blakestown Way. Or Corduff, another "beauty" in Dublin.

Darndale, Neilstown, Ballyfermot, Finglas, I could go on and on. I've known some nice people from those areas but even those people would tell me never to walk around there after nightfall.

NYC is one of the safest places in the world.

…surveillance isnt a real solution to complex, long term social problems, many of these issues are generational based, and require long term solutions, which are rarely, if ever, truly implemented…..

Did some research. Brownsville in Brooklyn seems the be one of the worst parts of NYC.

At least it seems to work in London. Apparently it's necessary, - sadly.

If it's true it would bother me as well. Don't see a swastika here but hammer and sickle, also representing oppressions.

I also found the Palestinian flags in Ireland very bothersome, same of those of Russia. Sadly many Irish would disagree with this, especially the first mentioned.

It also bothers me that some with strong republican and catholic feelings present the Irish flag besides or associate themselves with Cuba-Communism or Palestinians. The Russian flag besides the Irish is something new though.
