In 10 years time cars will largely be a thing of the past. More and more people will be living in towns, villages and cities. they’ll be working from home and walking/cycling to work.

I’d be all for massive taxes on anybody living
In the Countryside for no reason and also a massive increase on car tax. Even a fee for every km you commute to work for.

They’ll be cycling/walking to their own house will they?

I’d gladly pay extra if i didn’t have to live alongside someone like you. I’m all for it

Yes it’s relatively normal in major cities. People don’t drive.

Ireland destroyed its countryside with a linear housing programme. It’s bizarre.

Ireland is in grave danger of turning into a very bad version of America.

There’ll be nobody working at all at all in 10 years.

R2D2 will be running the show from a data centre in Athlone and we’ll all be getting €1k a week from a special EU fund being administered from Brussels by Jackie Healy-Rae Jnr. That’s the way it going now.

The linear housing programme is also the reason why we’ve such a shit public transport system.

I just never got the concept of people moving to the countryside. Building a massive house and spending 30 or 40 years paying back the bank for it. Then running two cars to get everywhere. School, the shop, the pub, church etc all a drive away.

And don’t get me started on fellas with lawns the size of gaa pitch’s and spending hours cutting them.

I just find it so odd but it will change for sure and sooner than many will expect.

If the future doesn’t involve an island in the kitchen and a below ground trampoline on an acre with a ride on mower, I’m not sure what the point of it will be.

If you visit the Cotswolds you’d notice it. You can drive for miles With beautiful sandstone walls on either side of the road with not a house in site.

You’d then happen a vibrant little village with markets, restaurants, shops and pubs. With the church and the school near bye.

So many villages and towns in Ireland are just dead now while the country roads are lit up with these houses.

Living in an apartment in town is ideal in your 20’s. Thing is after that if you don’t have a big budget you can end up beside scumbags depending on how lucky or unlucky you are in a semi-d across the board. Unfortunately people can end up paying for a house for 30 years living alongside cunts who are dealing drugs, domestic violence etc

There’s pros and cons to what you’re saying for sure but I think the older you get the more you value the bit of peace and quiet out in the country without any hassle.

Shur’ all this much talked of housing crisis is in big towns and cities.
Paddy on the acre site with the robot mower, the massive island, electronic gates etc. isn’t whinging and moaning.
On the issue of England’s green and fertile land well have a long look at every aspect of their lives and lifestyles…When they joined the Common Market in 1973 there were 500k viable farms in the UK - today there are just above 150k. That’s 350k farm families either wiped out or forced into urban ghettos.
You’d advocate for city living in let’s say Bradford or the likes of it.
