The farcical state of renting in Dublin

davyy77 · 2014-02-19 22:18:19

HI I am just using this to vent my anger at how Dublin has reached fever pitches with the cost of renting. I am currently looking to move but I honestly can't get over how much places are going for,the minute interest is registered the price suddenly goes up like 200 euro. It's so disheartening not to mind the 60 odd…

Maybe a little off topic to renting in dublin, but many other cities and towns have large private Industry and relative to their size contribute the same as dublin does. Dubliner's are not the only ones who pay taxes. Galway city with its large biomedical, tourism and IT industries surely is capable of paying for public services in rural connemara for example.

Look at it as people per square foot/meter. The more you have the cheaper it is to provide services. Towns always pay more. The higher the density the more they pay.
