The €3,000 per month luxury welfare apartments

In terms of this being a % requirement. What is the argument for mixed housing.

Is it seen that the people in receipt of the social housing look upon their neighbours earning and paying and get inspired or what?

There surely must be an argument beyond it being an alluristic gesture to people dealt a bad card.

i am 100% serious and am never anything but.

My missus works for one of the approved housing bodies, she worked for another previously. It is certainly the case that there is way more trouble with social tenants that are being housed for almost free, the crap she has to put up with from them is unbelievable and the stories she tells me are nuts about some of their behaviour. The messes she cleans up!

She tries to spend as much time as she can with the cost rental end of things, the welfare end of it is borderline dangerous.

So, while the effects of a single development, taken in isolation, will diffuse out, when there are enough of them, the effects I would think that the effects could be noticed.

22 apartments in a luxury development. You might think well that's only giving a lift to 22 lucky families who were going to get housed in Darndale. But it is also taking those apartments away from 22 private buyers. Those private buyer can just move down the ladder a bit to their next preference. Not the end of the world. Say they go to Rathmines. But now there are 22 less houses in Rathmines. So the next 22 potential buyers who would have otherwise bought in Rathmines move out to Harold's Cross. And so on and so on. And eventually you get down to the 22 families who were pushed out of buying in Beaumont, and get the 22 houses in Darndale.

Perhaps a bit simplistic, but once repeated often enough, especially in the given climate of severe shortages, jumping a lucky group way up the ladder, shifts a lot of others back down one rung each to make space

Interesting how these people who are more likely to be an issue never end up in D4 housing, amazing that.

What never happened?

She's been assaulted herself, has to deal with domestic violence, drug overdoses, barring orders, 2 stabbings this year alone, child neglect and TUSLA, rows between neighbours, she is on first name terms with loads of gardaí in the areas she has houses.

She has about 300 properties in her portfolio I think and the prevalence of bad behaviour is huge, way higher than you'd expect in 300 households. I know about 30 tenants by name even though I've never met them

'Brian and Louise's kids got taken from them again because Brian had an overdose'

'Jimmy turned up again and Jacinta had to ring the guards'

I actually hate her working there but she likes it because she does get to help some vulnerable people, I don't begrudge them a house, it's the wasters that just won't work that are the problem.

Theres very little of it in cost rental because people are working and they respect their home because they're paying for it. And they've to be up in the morning so aren't drinking and doing drugs.

Theres a small block of social housing in my area and you can tell the difference straight away how it is kept compared to the owner occupied and private rental areas.

Id say the evidence is available if someone went and looked for it.

Yeah I saw a tiktok video some local councillor giving out that some social tenants didn't have access to the gym in a complex, most of the place was rented by IT workers in Google and paying a fortune. I wish I had access to a gym in my development but I don't! I'm sure if all residents paid for it we could build one locally but I can't see that happening!

Someone unemployed getting a 3k per month apartment in one of the countries nicest suburbs absolutely disproves your point that someone working is better off than somone on the dole.

And at the same time, the majority of schools in Dublin have unfilled teaching posts, because teachers cant afford to live in the capital.

Make the majority of social homes affordable and cost rental, so that teachers and nurses can qualify for housing & ensure that the people who work for a living are prioritised for social housing.

I agree. However, if they do that, people will start complaining about D4 being elitist, no social housing there etc. Here is the interesting bit. That shoplifter ended up leaving the apartment. Place was far too quiet for her. Garda were stopping her all the time because they knew who she was.

There is social housing in D4. There is also an asylum centre in D4.

The majority of social housing within the canals should be going to working people, is the point.

"if you work hard little Jimmy, maybe some day you can afford to live in a place like this!"
"is that what you did dad?"
"dont be daft, I get this for free, why on earth would I want to work?"

Personal dealings with a few of them. Even McVerry managed to get a few of his best and brightest in there.

 include six apartments bought for €611k each with a further eight purchased for €499k each.

😯

Underclass? Fool, they are our Overlords!

Did you just assume Jimmy's dads gender?

For shame.

I see she respects all her clients confidence too. She should not be giving that information to anyone
