Governments all over the Western world seem to have abandoned their citizens in the matters of housing, health care, and mental health and addictions. It makes me both furious and sad.
They are abandoning their citizens to help establish the framework for the unelected elite grubs, "One World Order". I'm no conspiracy theorist, but have a look at what is happening to every democratic country! Immigration out of control, inflation out of control, housing for their citizens is scarce,non existent or overpriced. This is mostly caused by the elected lefty governments. Some countries citizens are waking up and electing right leaning governments, and things start looking up when they do. People need to start taking their countries back and get rid of this socialist push. Capitalism was the enemy of socialism, and we know what history has told us about socialism.
All of Western Europe is facing this and now even Portugal and Spain...Investors are buying up houses with borrowed money, asylum seekers are getting the affordable houses and the natives are left empty handed.
my dad bought the house we grew up since 1975 still there my brother lives there now...dad said.....if we dont pay the rates wich is 1200 a yr if we didnt pay it the council CAN AN WILL take the house i said to dad wtf the goverments worldwide are corporate criminals
I guess you haven't been to NYC. Inflation has caused prices to double in some cases. I used to buy evaporated milk for less than 80 cents a couple of years ago and now it's gone up to dollar fifty.
Why would a small island with the purchasing power of a small city be inexpensive? Ireland is consistently one of hte most expensive countries in Europe from insurance to electricity to groceries.
It's because it's terribly run, and the people of Ireland are gluttons for punishement - in local elections, they've just handed the largest share of the vote to Fine Gael, the party that has shown the most disdain for the people of Ireland over the past decade. Irish people have collectively rewarded their abusers - those who have left them struggling to survive, and about to have their right to speak the truth seriously restricted.
What the hell is corporate greed ? If you had bought the shares of those corporates when they were smaller companies you too would be a wealthy man. Wealth is not a zero sum game. You should have bought the shares of those companies. It is a pity you lost out on wealth creating opportunities.
my cousin moved from Croatia to Ireland with her 4 kids. She is receiving government aid and doesn't have a husband salary (afaik she had 3 men for those 4 kids, don't ask...). Yet young native Irish families are ignored. I say this is done by purpose, not by negligence. Because the government does help immigrants! My cousin couldn't speak 10 words of English when she arrived. Who helped her, and for how long? Why does no one help the natives that much?
I doubt you’re from Croatia and I’m sure you made this up. People from Croatia are an insignificant amount of the immigrant population there are hardly any in the U.K. or Ireland. How do I know? I worked for the home office. Just say you think the government prioritise immigrants without the whole made up story.
@@santanagonsalves6461 I don't even live in Ireland. Just wanted to share a story here. I live in Austria (my parents immigrated to here in the 90s). Why would I make this up? I didn't want to use Croatia as an argument point, but simply the fact that she went to Ireland with no prospective job and 4 kids and couldn't speak English and still got help, although she wasn't a refugee per se but simply an economic migrant. This is an issue that I will adress. Nothing of what I wrote is a lie. Every country should help the natives first and foremost.
@@gungy9544 that is very little compared to Canada. Australia's problem is real estate developers not building homes so that they can inflate the prices as well as older generations owning more properties and not yet selling them in Australia. And tbh Australia has higher wages to actually bear this whereas Canada has lower wages, higher taxes and can you imagine being homeless in minus temperatures?
Seems to be a problem mostly in the 'Anglosphere'? If countries like Ireland, Australia, Canada, NZ and UK want to run massive immigration programs, they should ensure the country has adequate infrastructure to handle the big increases in population in concentrated areas.
These western countries are relatively broke and funnelling in immigration to boost our economies long term. We unfortunately are in the part where it puts an enormous strain on our housing and infrastructure. We need to keep pressure on our governments to build that housing and infrastructure and remove the barriers to getting it done.
When asked for that, they will whine that their right to come IS a human right. My country took millions. Its unable to intregrate then in a timely Manner. Taking Up housing. Making natives Mad. And Mad that they need to fear to get raped or killed Just because. Mad that they then get to Play the poor victim hard and dont even face a fitting punishment. Forcing them to Leave the country? Nope. Thats playing the extreme right in the cards.
New Zealand is so unaffordable. These days when I talk to people from other Western nations, like Australia, Canada, the US, Ireland etc, we always speak of our highly unaffordable living costs. And yet the governments keep bringing in more migrants and everything is getting worse. Meanwhile, politicians keep getting richer.
@@shauncameron8390 Yes and no, New Zealand does rank up high on the list but NZ's definition of being homeless is a bit more generous than other places I suspect. "Statistical authorities in New Zealand have expanded their definition of homelessness to include ‘people living in improvised shelters’, ‘people staying in camping grounds/motor camps’ and ‘people sharing accommodation with someone else’s household’"
Feministm meant lack of birth rate and demograpy collapse for western's Countries. without having sustainable birth rate mean no tax slaves and men power to sustain expensive western's neo liberal society. Without immigrant how western's countries can solve such demograpic issues.
@@sarahann530 Not nobody, that's not what social housing is for. It's for those who can't afford a house otherwise. You're not the sharpest tool in the shed yourself.
Yep. Globalist parties and opposition. Thousands of migrants are eligible to vote also, and they're being bussed into the polling stations. Hopefully the country has woken up today and vote them all out, knowing this country, it's wishful thinking.
@@marcustiberious5887 if Irish people are having a hard time affording a home or apartment, then where the heck are migrants and immigrants living? In abandoned warehouses? Camping in a forest?
@@geoffoakland didn’t you know? Indian tech workers pull in hundreds of thousands a year. These aren’t Mexican immigrants that work the fields we’re talking about.
If your parents let you live in their home with them; be grateful. Both my brother & I were basically expected to leave the family home at the age of 18.
Ha, really?) I think I'm from the big city and no one except me or my brother to leave parents property as soon as we graduate. However we had periods living separately, then come back, then again live separately. I know if u are from a village it is pretty popular to move to the town after graduation in order to find better opportunities
This is a manufactured "crisis". Twenty years ago it was possible to rent a converted garage in Galway for £250pm. Yes, it was tiny and possibly had a few damp patches, but it was cheap and cheerful and most importantly it was a ligit address. A place to start from. Back then there were a whole generation of twenty somethings living like that, it was liberating. What killed it was the ridiculous notion of having perfect rentals, cant have any damp, cant be converted, cant have single glazing, cant have this, cant have that. It drove all the opportunistic landlords from the market. All those garages are now just garages, all the granny flats are empty and the prices have gone through the roof. Ye couldnt leave it alone, all those eco regs are fine in an affulent society, but they're bankrupting young irish people. Politicians should be ashamed of what they did, wrecking the market and depriving people of homes.
Young Irish people working and paying taxes, but can't afford housing. Meanwhile, economic migrants are given free accomodation and social welfare payments.
True, civil unrest is going to happen for sure this country will change for the worse, even anti EU views are gaining more ground, migration has made Ireland a very dangerous place.
Resistance to building smart apartment buildings, and the association of such building with council flats, is a big part of it in the UK and Ireland. Sprawling housing estates won't do it for the young (or environment) when you need to run a car just to live there.
@@r.mariano8118 it is and mainly because I need the space finding a 2 bed in the bay over 1k sq ft is a bit difficult if you won’t pony up the cash I run a small business out of my home
Housing is no longer a place to live, it is an investment asset. Obvioulsy keeping the asset value of existing asstes high and going up is top priority. Not great if you are young and have no existing assets to trade in. In our western society to get ahead do not study or work, play the finace-casino market and better yet start off with big hand of assets to play aroun d with...
It feels like everyone but the public benefits from expensive housing. The banks get to loan huge mortgages and generate profits from high interest, and as long as you aren't investing in stocks or a business, you remain in the highest tax brackets, so the government wins as well. The system knows how hard to squeeze you before you leave or riot. Affordable housing has been a growing issue for decades, yet little has been done, how can it be anything but deliberate?
@@cooledcannon Not sure about Malaysia. As for the Netherlands, it's worse there if anything. Rural US, that depends what part of it. It's a big place.
The human population on this planet has tripled since the 1960's. Even since I was a child there are almost double the amount of people on the planet, and it's very noticeable. More people, more competition for resources, housing jobs etc, less patience, more stress on people holding society together like health care workers.
Because we have one of the highest housing inflation on top of highest gdp per capita In other words if you put a Americans gdp per capita into irish cost of living the yank would die of starvation Housing in Ireland is mostly private either owned by landlords or the bank Even social housing isn't owned by the state its owned privately.
Yet people voted for the same government parties expecting something to change. The message sent to local politicians is that the Irish are happy with the current situation. Well done voters.
Well done indeed and now as a result guaranteed to get a lot worse without a doubt. Anyone who voted that shower back in should shut up the writing was on the walls its worsening year in year out with those dingbats in power.
Cost of living is higher where there is not adequate public transit or public sector help. I live in a place close to Boston. My transportation costs (on public transit) are minimal and I bought a condo twelve years ago in a homebuyers' assistance program.
Same thing here in California! I know many adults, many even married, who returned to live with their parents, due to the high housing rental rates. It’s very hard for most people right now.
Same problem in my little town (150K pop) but the Irish backpackers seem to have it sorted. They share houses once they get a job and they seem happy enough. Sure, it's not Sydney or Melbourne but we don't suffer any form of 'winter' either.
There is no housing shortage, there is a population surplas due to immigration and the government trying to house, feed educate including university , and provide healthcare for anyone who comes. The birthrate per Irish woman is 1.6 yet the government hopes to build 56 thousand houses per year until 2050. Over a million houses to house foreigners. The danger with this is that it will cause serious instability, if hospitials, schools, parks, sewage works and roads to match are not built and the public certainly in my view dont want to pay for this. Particularly when we are planning to reduce our carbon out put dramatically, building and concrete production are heavy producers of carbon. It does not all add up.
It's astonishing that this is everywhere. A friend of mine in Romania found a cheap little cottage for €13K and her and her husband were fine until an entire company bought the entire land around them and they were forced to sell. Now they have to pay exorbitant rent to the same company who owns a lot of buildings in their nearest city.
Can we just cut to the point: Governments are all poor and are allowing investors and foreign buyers to purchase residential property to keep their income/real estate tax income. Citizens are being pushed out of economically viable zones due to the corporate and foreign buyers.
It's the same everywhere in Europe. I'm planning to leave the Netherlands forever (I'm an English speaker of mixed origin), and Ireland is one the countries I consider to move in. The housing never scares me. It's even worse in the Netherlands, especially, in big cities😂 I live in a SMALL town, and still pay 700 euros for a STUDIO (1/3 of my monthly income). Paying 1000 euros or more for the same studio in Dublin is not really bad, because Dublin is a big and influential city, and you can earn more there. And, at least, Ireland has more lands to build houses. The Netherlands doesn't.
Gl finding an apartment in Dublin for 1k. I was living there for about 8 years and in the last few years the housing crisis got out of hand ridiculously. I was lucky to be on good terms with my landlord, so he didn't raise rent, but even a small attic cost me 800€, electricity not included (was a top up system, costing a good 50-100€ extra depending on the season and if you wanted some heating in the sub 10 degrees apartment in winter for a couple hours/day). And that was in 2022, with my rent not getting raised for years. A small place with the bare minimum to accomodate a living, yet I would assume if the landlord put it up today on a renting site with a 1100-1200€ tag on it, it would be gone in a few hours.
And lastly, it doesn't matter if there is land to build on, when majority of the active politicans are landlords themselves and therefore have 0 interest in growing the housing market.
Not really. Both the housing situation and the cost of living are way worse in Ireland than in the UK, although many UK residents don't always appreciate that.
@@michaellucas4873 I'm thinking of moving from the UK to Ireland becasue life is cheaper and better in Ireland.pharmacist in the Uk can earn 19£ in the UK ireland 40Euro per/h
From a world perspective they are very fortunate. Not only to be living in a prosperous free Country but have wonderful parents who will sacrifice some of their Golden Years to help their children. Be thankful, you are guaranteed nothing. What were your Grandparents given?
Is a global affair.Greddy banks, private investments firms, big an little landlords and, of course, with the approval of the corrupts politician and lawmakers than they always denied to be involved with. Maintain artificially the market with low supply and high demand and you have the perfect storm for the citizens and the most profits for the powerful.As simple as that.What a shame of people!!
LOL an Estate Agent saying Landlords are greedy, I have Estate agents chasing me to put up rents, when I don't want to, because they make more commission, they are often the ones instigating the rises in both rents and sales!!!!!!!! They send yearly emails saying lets put the rent up!!!!!!!!
And you thought this was only a problem in the U.S. It’s obviously a problem in other countries and something must be done about the affordable housing crisis.
@@shauncameron8390 I’m afraid you’re wrong. It’s actually getting expensive to live just about anywhere in the U.S. Of course some places may not be as expensive say as New York City or any of the major cities on the West Coast such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle but they are getting expensive to say the least. It used to be a lot cheaper where I live, but now it’s gotten to be more expensive than ever.
what happened to ireland? its crazy! why wud anybody stay? on a lighter note the fact that someone has christened their son "Alan" post 2000 has really made my day. Its brought me immense inner joy.
Not really. Maybe they killed him, because all the "free" stuff he provided them wasn't worth the repression and abuse they had to endure during his 42 years of rule.
It's like this everywhere. You have to take a risk and vote with your conscience, not along party lines or ideology. Vote for the candidate that will change the longstanding, ineffective paradigm. That's the only way to break the mold.
Due to Massive Immigration housing in Australia has become a dream Multiple occupancy in houses is increasing and Multi generations living in a home has increased massively
Canada has taken over one million immigrants per year since the end of the pandemic. This has created a shortage of affordable housing so people should think twice before moving to Canada especially if you have a difficult time earning a decent income.
Noticed a massive increase in young (under 35 yo) Irish in Scotland nowadays. New Irish migrants to Scotland. They are welcome as they do not block our independence like the Brits do when they move to Scotland.
