[dunkelheit]

When I visited Dublin last year (as a tourist, exacerbating the problem, hehe; although I stayed in a hotel), the housing problems were obvious - lots of homeless in the streets, they also were in the process of banning short-term rentals. But to my outside view the root of the problem was simple - the Irish are too attached to their lovely small homes and don't believe in building anything even moderately high. Of course a few high-rises would look ugly and create other problems but maybe this is the way to give everyone a place to live, not tightening regulations some more.
