‘Nimbyism is said to be the biggest obstacle to Ireland developing a modern housing infrastructure and it is claimed that unrepresentative residents associations are trying to stop lots of worthwhile developments.’ Picture: Getty
Could these include the 210 apartments that, some of us, including Eamon Ryan, the now Environment Minister, stopped from being built on a flood plain along the Dodder? Or maybe a reference to the objections to the proposed 671 units at Milltown Park in Dublin with 604 of those being “build to rent”, a staggering 90 per cent.
It is easy to accuse objectors of nimbyism, and there can be some unfair objections, but the real issue is this: good planning is as easy to deliver as bad planning. It may take a little longer and the profit may not be as substantial but it is still well worth aiming for. In the current draft city development plan for Dublin a proposal to limit build to rent units to a maximum of 40 per cent of any development has come in for criticism as somehow inhibiting the building of new housing.
LaceyDermot Well done LaceyDermot very well written piece
LaceyDermot The LaceyDermot who voted to gift OscarTraynor to dubious developers at reduced cost, losing control of the largest site in DCC portfolio. Same Cllrs. who's party objects to public housing and bang on about affordable housing. Making the _HousingCrisis worse, what's new
LaceyDermot The framing in this article talks about the housing situation as if it involves only two interest groups: incumbent residents (mainly owner-occupiers) & property developers No mention of the interests of the single people and young families who need rental accommodation
LaceyDermot There probably are ligament ones but they get lost in the large number of nonsense ones such as a birds flight path is disturbed by a 6 storey building, student accommodation next to a college isn't in keeping with area, transients might move in (we know what that's code for)
LaceyDermot Who does the labour party represent? Those in need of homes, or wealthy homeowners that don't want another house built in sight of theirs? Because it sure seems like the latter
Please keep this behind the paywall.
LaceyDermot When housing objectors use the excuse of 'bad planning', you can be always be sure of one thing, they have never sought the opinion of the people who might live in the new housing. Because it would discredit their entire argument when they realise that thousands would live there.
LaceyDermot No.
