I am in my fifties but fully support the need to force changes in housing policy. These policies artificially inflate the cost of housing. Government should be responsible for social and affordable housing , leaving it up to private market forces is a mythical solution . Taxpayers should not be expected to subsidise landlordism .
Just wondering have you ever done anything other than reiterate the stereotypes when landlords are finally eliminated and SF are in power you will be in your utopia. Houses will be built at 600,000k a pop and your taxes will be increased exponentially to pay for the gold toothed brethren the Irish ironically will be last in the queue.
Tax payers should not be asked to subsidise the biggest landlord in the state to provide accommodation for economic migrants from all over the world. It’s bad enough providing almost free accommodation to Irish that don’t want to work but want to subsidise their Spanish holidays with dealing drugs or little Johnny dabbling in dealing.
I own my own house built two more houses the Government moved in on those houses faster than any gangland figures. They told me what I had to do with them, whom I must rent to etc etc. Bottom line I was going to build 100 or 200 houses I just bailed. You would want to be stark raving mad to invest in Ireland your property will be sequestered and controlled by the government and Charity industries. The criteria you build under will be changed retrospectively. The governments only policy is EXPEDIENCY.
@@sarahann530 I was going to build in Limerick. I had one one of the countries top tax advisers an ex Revenue Commissioner and one of the top Accountancy firms. You do no it’s easier to borrow 100 million in this country than it is to get a loan from a credit union.
Most of the protests are just about housing Our families safety is more important. Ask Sweden and Denmark why they done a full u turn .. and it wasn’t about housing I can assure you of this ..
800,000+ people coming into the Country over the past 20 years has played a huge part in it too. We also need to turn off benefits for new arrivals. You get a job or you go home. NO free social welfare, housing and medical card.
The crisis is definately due to a shortage of housing. And this shortage causes prices and rents to go UP. But Mr Hearne never clarifies this or comes up with a practical solution to increase supply. He is to busy blaming Landlords. And yes this panders to renters, who follow him online, his customers. So he is of course just fuelling the crisis, has no intetest in helping solve it. Why end the gravy train for himself.
Rents in Ireland are relatively high but compared to other european nations, Irelands rents are not crazy. In Lisbon for example a small 1 bed flat costs 1,350 a month. There is no HAP over there either. Renters in Eire get so much help from the state they are very fortunate. Other nations dont pay any benefits or very little to renters. Eire is a welfare state. Fact.
Yeah but they should stop spending on haps ( renting help). instead of that. Build affordable houses that families Ken afford to buy!! Not all people like to be connected with social welfare!!
Why do people need to buy? That's the same speculative system we have currently. If you want wealth, invest in a business. If you want housing that covers social needs in the same way that education and healthcare does, you need to stop looking to OWN the land and house in the same way that you don't OWN the hospital bed or school desk, but have access to regardless (even if it's not a perfect system). State owned land and aggressive state owned building of homes was commended in the 60s and 70s IN IRELAND for it's success by the UN, and now with private landlords and NAMA we're in a mess. Compulsory purchase orders on vacant and derelict properties, tax relief and pensionable stable employment for social housing construction is all that's needed.
This guy is full of complaints but never has a practical solution to the crisis. He is very like Trump, pandering to people with many grievances to get a rise out of them, because this gets him attention for his podcast and his many social media platforms. He has no interest in solving this problem, just making money out of it.
Jobs is everywhere while house is already dispired like wind, now every body can blame the Irish governments Evan the government trying there very best things are difficult why because no more money compare to back in the days (jhikkey alla, Apinder Singh welcome to late, late show)
Yes, Hearne is a trouble maker. Loves to blame Landlords as this panders to the young renters who listen to his podcast or follow his social media. But he has no real solution to the problem, which is clearly a shortage od supply.
Thanks for this information. I was almost going to take him seriously due to him being an academic expert in this field. But now you’ve exposed him for being a candidate for a party many years ago, I now know to completely discredit anything he says
The best way to kick this government in the teeth is to pack your bags and emigrate. They borrowed 200 billion euro since 2008 which they used to inflate the cost of existing houses. If young professionals refuse to stay and pay, the problem of servicing that debt will revert to the government.
@1:28 we have always had intergenerational living in homes in this country since before the famine times, those with rose tinted glasses of the past like Rory need to get over themselves, this isn't a new situation or 'crisis' as his folk pelt on about. Look back on your family trees and see how many siblings over 20 lived with the aul pair in the 1901 and 1911 censuses for example. Eventually they all emigrated from the farm home to the new worlds and got on with it like we should or else stop nimbying high rise apartments by the CBDs and city centres Fidelma
