The Official TFK Nimby thread

The Georgian way

The Clare lads won’t be long circling the banjos at this revelation. Pat is Banner royalty.

PBP want more consultation

It’s ridiculous. Just trying to avoid any sort of accountability by delaying everything and wasting more money. Completely inconsistent with their stance on other issues where it’s all action and no consultation. But once something has an actual likelihood of taking place they get cold feet and vote to stall everything.

“why are they putting up refugees in expensive areas like dalkey or howth”

if ever an article put forward the most nimbyism of nimbys arguments, then that is it right there. Some highlights:

that would be more suitable for the IFSC
at seven storeys high this will be the highest building in the area
My street with its small artisan cottages would be overshadowed
I have a very elderly mother in law who is in her eighties is terrified that these building works will go ahead
permitting high rise eruptions on a random basis
overbearing due to its height, massing and excessive density

“We used to have 18 lanes of traffic, now just two” :cry:

“Two fantastic car parks” :cry:

Then says his “village” has been destroyed.

I can’t take anyone seriously who describes this as a village and doesn’t want housing to take its place.

Them buildings look great, imagine all the new bars cafes etc that will be created with all the people moving to the area.That auld lad wouldn’t be long changing his mind with a few brown envelopes in his pocket I’d say.

They should be served with anti-social behaviour orders.

The same cunts would be telling East wall residents they’re racist for not wanting people moving into their area
