The Shame I feel about Dublin as my capital (and other random cities in videos that Muldoons think is Dublin)

The only ones in Doon who’d have them probably had tails

There would have to be a complete cultural shift which isn’t going to happen… People on the continent can live in those apartments because there’s a lot more security also. You can get very long leases in family sized apartments. In Ireland you can be turfed … And i don’t see why people would buy them to live in when they can have their own house and garden for the same money.
Their towns and cities also evolved around apartment living… Town squares and parks and play grounds within distance for people who have to get out for air.

Could have been worse, could have been Oola…

Edit to add my experiences of said village are limited to stopping off for libations on the way home from thurles and I’m sure it’s a grand village normally. Anyway back to the dubs…

[Massive_Attack]

Jesus but you’re fair grumpy this morning…

[myboyblue]

You soft cunts need a bit of STER

@peddlerscross

Most importantly of all though, there might be beds/couches available in the village itself for lads to pass out on after a night out in the village. Instead of the current farcical situation where we see parents trying to pull their sons/daughters out of the pub at 11pm so they can go to bed themselves.

He can’t be serious….

This is the point. The cities need to be set up with infrastructure for apartment living. Where I live there is a mix of housing and apartments that were built in the 70’s and 80’s. Typically 5-6 story blocks with the odd ten story thrown in. But in the area you have kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools, swimming pools, parkland, shops, churches. And decent public transport (buses and trams) within walking distance to any part of the city.

Now the younger generation are moving out of town and building stand alone houses or going into developments outside town with no facilties. Their kids will be prisoners there in a few years.

I used to walk home from Bulgaden Castle by the railway track. It was safer and shorter.

[habanerocat]

A lot of people like to have a bit of a garden.
We don’t do allotments in Ireland.
The town and city planners need to have a rethink about that.

@The_Most_Infamous

I genuinely think it is. Absolutely the bullshit cases 100% have to be properly screened like it would be the case anywhere else. Deport them if theyre not legitmate.

How do you mean not legitimate?

@Bandage

neck of the woods in the rural townlands just outside CMX. Huge one-off dwellings dotted all around the backarse of nowhere, with 6 or 7 bedrooms as you mention. Bizarre muldoon carry on.

You just take that back

[flattythehurdler]

@peddlerscross

There’s probably 25-30 new, one off houses gone up within a 2 mile radius of me in the last 10 years or so. And barely any of them farming. If these were instead built in an estate on the edge of the village it would mean a vibrant village with maybe still two pubs open and thriving and a humble corner shop in operation seven days a week.

The most utterly farcical thing they ever dreamed up was the road frontage bit. It should be the other way around. You shouldn’t be allowed road frontage.
Ribbon development is GUBU.

@myboyblue

Get a fucking taxi or pick a fella to drive. Jesus, it’s not that fucking hard. Why do you snowflake cunts need to make everything so hard?

I know you’re on a ballhop, but there aren’t even any pavements. It’s mental. It’s what happens when you do t invest in infrastructure. There should be walking paths off the roads radiating 5 miles out of every city (and Kilkenny town).

[cowpat]

I think it will have to change in the cities. The problem is I wouldn’t trust the govt or developers to do it right. They’d fuck it up.

Spot on on both fronts there.

[Alphakrul1]

The Swedish governments started building allotments everywhere in the cities in the 60’s I think it was. A massive influx of rural occupiers to the cities were needed to work in the urban factories. They noticed a massive downturn in their mental health, so built them allotments so they could footer about growing a few parsnips. it worked. Now, there’s over a 20yr waiting list for those in the middle of the city. Hugely popular with the youngsters.

Growing up in an urban & urbane environment in Wexford town before moving to a cosmopolitan melting pot like Dublin, I’m always bemused when we’re in my life partner’s neck of the woods in the rural townlands just outside CMX. Huge one-off dwellings dotted all around the backarse of nowhere, with 6 or 7 bedrooms as you mention. Bizarre muldoon carry on.

Don’t sleep on the role the Irish language lobby plays in some parts of the island. Incentivising these McMansions so they can house children from urban areas to go there during their summers to learn a language that the lobby don’t want to teach properly.
