Why is Dublin such a shιtty city?

Jaysis its like Joe Duffy in here

you can walk down the boardwalks 24/7 and no-one will hassle you , same for OCS or Grafton st. worse that'll happen is someone will tap you for change

fk sake

I was just making the point that London has as bad or worse problems, just we air our dirty laundry in some central parts, and even then it's a very safe city

Dublin is medium size town to London. The two can't really be compared,give it some time,the cultural problems that arise in the UK usually arise here about 20 years later.

It's littered with ghouls. The heroin addicts roaming the streets make things x10 worse imo, especially around Heuston Station.

if you are homeless you go to a hostel ,its free , free food at soup kitchens , how much does it cost to live here?, not much,

are there not homeless in munich,paris,london, whats the legal definition of a scumbag, ?someone under 40 who wears a hoody and is working class ? you can read articles about people working who are struggling to find any place to rent that they can afford to pay the rent.in the last few years rent has doubled at least for a 1 bed unit.this is not north korea , do you propose sending junkies to a rural area or a prison , every western citys has junkies, is a banker crypto bro that helps corporations pay zero per cent tax by using various loopholes or opening an office in luxembourg not worse than joe bloggs who buys some coke

70s per cent of crypto transactions are used to evade tax or else to launder money by drug dealers criminal gangs and corrupt officials ,

look up crypto washing laundering

why do so many russians buy expensive property in london , cos its a safe place to hide, launder money from criminal transactions and bribes

many bankers officials retired with big bonus,s after 2007 ,they caused a house price crash by foolish reckless lending which left the country with billions in debt which we will be paying for 20 years from now

i would expect new york to look slightly better than dublin considering its one of the worlds richest citys with wall st banks stockbrokers and a location of a giant sector in finance and banking finance https://ngm.com.au/bitcoin-laundering/

And to think that people wanted to demolish Georgian and Victorian Dublin and replace it all with Busarus Lite architecture.

@Jeremy Sproket can you show me the litter strewn on all the streets on google street view please?

The last few times I was in Dublin I'd be delighted to be dealing with litter around the place rather than the amount of dogshite.Like playing a very grim version of hopscotch trying to get down the street.

Most other cities bigger than Dublin I've lived in or visited don't have this issue on the same scale.Yet another tick in the kip column.

Its not. Some Dubs think Dublin is the best place on earth and if you aren't from there you are a thick culchie ejit. well done you were born in the kip called Dublin, have you any other special skills? I have seen them kind of Dubs before laugh at people from the country just because they are from the country, even though they live in a council house in Dublin while the culchie lives in a mansion down the country.

Dublin has a fantastic geographical setting. Some stunning scenery. There are total kips of areas and absolutely gorgeous areas. The public transport system is non existent and a disgrace. The amount of dereliction is another disgrace. Oconnell bridge, has tarmac as the finish, in a european capital in a country that is very, very wealthy... The public realm is a disgrace in town... They need far more guards out and about in the city centre... Far more prisons spaces, get them clean, rehabilitate them or if that doesnt work, lock them up...

I'm perfectly calm, others are frothing at the mouth about their capital city and the lack of infrastructure and money put in to it! And they're right, the city has been underfunded, underrepresented, underpoliced and left behind in recent years.

So, to answer my question, why unlike the calmer and less shouty Dubliners on this thread are people like yourself using the word culchie to describe yourselves?

You can avoid a lot of those issues by not going into central dublin. If you don't work in the city centre, then there's not really any need to go there. The majority of things can be had elsewhere, in areas where you are less likely to encounter such things. I could do my shopping in the ilac or I could do it in dundrum, it's easy to guess which one of the two I'm more likely to run into those issues that you mentioned.

It's not.

Go away.
