Dublin really needs to get better at keeping young people and creatives.
1) Cheap affordable housing close to the city centre 2) protected nightlife 3) more night clubs 4) markets 5) lidos 6)the metro lol 7) bus connects 8) cycle lanes

The state should CPO all the golf courses within the m50 and give the clubs money to build a new courses somewhere outside the m50.

Everyone who doesnt own a car should go free on public transit - would really reduce car ownership
Always feels a bit weird that young kids are not free on public transport. This is almost an encroachment policy; older people are free now, students get massively discounted fares- let's keep going with it and make smallies free. Who's the next group?

This is such bull
1. Dubai utilises slave labour
2. Multiple hospitals in sweden and Australia constructed in late 2010s have similar price tags
3. The reasons its so expensive is because we dont build enough - so get that team to build another hospital straight away
The Burj Khalifa cost 1.5 Billion quid and took 6 years to build. Children's Hospital now expected to exceed 2 Billion and still no sign of it opening after 8 years of construction. We are led by donkeys.

There is a huge misunderstanding re. density in the anglo sphere. High rises are needed to make up for the fact that our cities compromise of 1-4 story houses & not 6-10 story dense blocks. Unless you want to level them and start again we need high rises to make up for bungalows!

It is actually dangerous to say increasing supply wont fix the housing crisis.
Lack of supply is the number one reason we have such a horrendous housing crisis. Every city that has radically increased housing supply in last 5 years (austin, seattle) has seen rents fall!
Lorcan Sirr: Don’t believe what you’ve heard: increasing supply won’t fix housing crisis
In Dublin city last year, 94% of all new housing was apartments, 98% of which were for rent. First-time buyers there bought just 75 new houses
