thdespou··on Street Votes: A proposed response to Ireland's housing crisis
Yep, Harsh reality living in Ireland is the Housing crisis. Unless you are not earning a big fat salary, you won't be able to affort the current rent rates.

So your renting experience goes like this:

- Desperately try to find somewhere to live paying X amount on rent for 2-3 years.

- Landlord gives you 6 months notice because they want to sell the house.

- You try to find a new house to live. The availability is smaller each time, plus they take 800 euro more to rent with the same amount of rooms. Plus you have to move to a commuting area since the available properties in your area are non-existant or they take 150% of your salary.

- Rinse and repeat every 2-3 years until you pay 100%+ of your salary in rent or just leave cursing.
