Housing #SupplySupplySupply won’t work unless pipeline is designed to be:

💶 affordable (to buyer & exchequer)

📈 scalable (can grow to the need)

♻️ sustainable (environmentally, socially, politically & economically)

📉 recession proofed (de-risked from property markets) https://twitter.com/orla_hegarty/status/1403621937851535360?s=46&t=vEUKcnh3_0Uf2Cd08AOTiA

“Why SupplySupplySupply won’t solve the #housing affordability problem #1 ‘we are doomed to failure if we see it purely as a game of numbers.. lowering the bar to get developers to build tiny, dim, carbon-intensive, socially-isolating, unaffordable boxes’ https://t.co/T1aGir3B8z”

Planning laws to be rushed through Dáil 'to help address housing crisis'

..remember the way ~rushed~legislation for Strategic Housing Developments resulted in an increase in court cases, legal costs & delays..& was actually much worse for developers. That

Dublin City Council is a far outlier, 40% higher than a range of industry sources for indicative costs for apartment construction (my research here) https://www.cluid.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Planning-Gain-and-Obligations-Promise-and-Performance-of-Part-V.pdf

Mad how Dublin City Council got a “construction cost report” saying it’s €500,000+ to build a 2-bed apartment… when it costs Fingal Council €317,900 #Housing #IrishHousing

First huge test of the effect of the influx of #IrishTwitter #MastoDaoine over to here will be later today.
The #LateLateToyShow aka the #ToyShow is later today.
For people who have never heard of this weird thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late_Late_Toy_Show

The RTÉ player will fail. People will have bootleg streams on different platforms.
Watching the version with interpretation for the #Deaf community is highly recommended if you are considering watching it.

To the lovely admins of the .ie server: brace brace.
