Housing Madness

Bare minimum start, the foreign REITs should have their papers torn up and told to fook off, to stay fooked off, and thanked for the misery they contributed. Kiss their "assets" goodbye. To hell with consequences when it's already so bad. The handwringing is over.

Everything needs to be investigated after that, who was a part of this housing crisis, who profited, who encouraged, who enabled, who invited, who's related to who, where's the money gone and then go to town. Dig them out of the ground if needs be and put them on display. This has to be so utterly annihilated that it's unthinkable to ever do again. It'll be a long list.

Nothing will make this gameshow of a country more obvious than when the ukrainians start pouring in by the 10's of thousands, and magically housed, when the conspirators of this housing crisis wouldn't do it for Irish people. Scamville.

People better be out on the streets for this one, anything goes style.

Oh they very much are things you can ignore. Stacks of paper versus living reality, one is paramount, the other bureaucracy. Willpower is the difference, and once again points to the crookedness.

As for ukrainians, you'd be a monkeys Uncle if you think the vast majority are going to return home. Watch and see as the war dwindles into the background and everyone "forgets". They'll be housed, and their cousins and grandparents and personal optometrists and what have you afterward, let there be zero doubt. All transformed into more pressure and convenient excuses to keep the housing crisis ticking along nice and profitably.

You compared the English taking Ireland's land with me saying that FOREIGN interests should be booted out of Ireland....but somehow equating that with Irish people having their land taken????

Think, McFly, think.

My comparison, actually appropriate, is that your stinking attitude, that of treating the country like a cash colony, is actually exactly like the English occupation. And similar to their stupid rationalisation, you wouldn't mind if the likes of me were gotten rid of, and replaced. Silly troublemakers that we are, complaining about an artificially produced housing crisis.

Those pesky Irish and their potatoe blight, wouldn't it be nice if we could just get rid of them. Those pesky Irish and their housing complaints, wouldn't it be nice if we could just get rid of them. We're making money off them, fook them. Replace them with nice silent whoever's from wherever, lovely.

And you suppose I'm going to get into some genuine "debate" on the minutiae of international laws with you? Good one!

You are invested in the maintenance of this housing crisis by your own admittance, pretty much everything you say after that fact is irrelevant. In fact, whatever you say is likely to be the opposite of a good thing for this country. So many of your like about the place, nothing special, but all harmful. And look how they treat the Irish people...they'd be ready to throw them out on their ear if they could, all about the profit. Believe them when the mask slips.

Bloody fascinating in it's own way, you boot one lot of land crooks out of the country, in slip a new generation of housing vampires. A word to the wise, don't listen to the advice of a vampire latched about your neck.

As if you had a discussion in mind at all, Mr Vampire.

Listen to the vampires, folks, they are very sure they can keep drinking your blood. Are ye going to let it keep going, or not? Are ye going to stand up to this, or not? We'll see.

As for your lovely imagination on my life being miserable, pointless to say on an internet full of lies and c*nts, you, Mr Vampire, would be lucky to have a fraction of what I possess and am, in every way. I'm just pissy about vampires, that's all.

Yes, foreign REITs should be hung out to dry.

Yes, it would no doubt damage our investment reputation as a bunch of imbeciles, "treasure island Inc" may take a hit. Oh, no, terrible.

Yes, having more national housing within control is better than entities intent on maximum profit.

Yes, having national control of properties left purposefully empty by REITs would be better.

No, it wouldn't mean tenants would be evicted. Bearing in mind I stated it as "a start", that would obviously operate in tandem would other policy.

I'm all ears now to hear your general idea on solving the housing crisis. If it begins with "build more houses" forget it, pure rubbish evidenced by near a decade.

Always major side-eye to anyone "just asking questions", because the truth of it is that so many people have been willingly and unwillingly roped into this pyramid scheme of a housing crisis, you can't trust anyone to be honest with their "just questions".

You can worry about your flagellated ancestors evicting bacteria off a rock unjustifiably countless millennnia back.

I'll settle my ire on the last 20 odd years of humans screwing the country up, thankyouverymuchsugarandspice.
