Take Back The City!

By

Offices in Dublin are near empty and will remain so for a long time. Investors are, rightly, very concerned about their returns and so are pension funds. City based businesses however will enjoy the savings on rents – Dublin had the 5th highest rents in Europe after all.
And with Public and Private Service leaving the city to work at home for as far forward as we can see right now, there is an opportunity for Dublin – and Cork, Limerick, Galway, Belfast – to become living cities once again.
Imagine Georgian style buildings, long ago turned to expensive offices, large modern glass and steel office buildings turned to living accommodation in the heart of the city.
Grim 1950’s/60’s buildings torn down and rebuilt as housing, ground floors turned into retail arenas.
And with all of that extra accomodation we have reduced the housing crisis and dropped rents to realistic levels.
An excellent perspective from David Mc Williams in the Irish Times – http://www.davidmcwilliams.ie/it-is-time-for-a-major-property-reset/

Petition To Freeze Rents & Mortgages Won’t Work

By

Accumulated Debts Are Harder To Clear

Freezing rent and mortgages just pushes payment back to another day.
In these trying times we are going to have a lot of people out of work. Some will be paid as normal and won’t need assistance with rent payments. Others will be in receipt of €200-300 per week and can pay SOME of their rent and still live.
The Government must step in a propose a Govt-Tenant-Landlord-Bank solution that is fair to all.
When this crisis is over we will all be worse off. Accumulated rent or mortgage debt hanging over peoples heads will just make a bad situation worse.
