Ireland has ~1.5 million homes suitable for families. Ireland is very unlikely to ever have more than 0.8m families (with kids under 18). Unbelievable that anyone paying attention to the housing crisis could have missed that the crisis is/will be for 1-2 person households.

Why new apartment standards won't mean housing more people
Half of the households in Ireland have children, yet there is no plan for where, and how, the next generations will live

How does Bluesky feel about this one. Today An Coimisiún Pleanála upheld Fingal CC’s decision to bar DAA from demolishing disused old ramps. It said demolishing the old ramps “would diminish the visual amenity on approach to T1”

🏙️ What if your street could vote on its own planning rules — like in Seoul & Tel Aviv — and share the value when development happens? Seán Keyes’s taboo idea for Ireland: hyper-local planning, where neighbours decide and benefit from building higher.

The saddest graph. Wages minus rents for college educated and non college educated workers in the US, over time. It shows low-skilled workers have been the losers from housing shortages

It's pretty remarkable just how much the politics around zoning have shifted over the past decade—college towns like Berkeley and Cambridge were once the epicenter of NIMBYism. Now they're in a neck-and-neck competition to liberalize and build.

‘We love these buildings’: Should developers get to build six stories anywhere in Cambridge? - The Boston Globe
Housing advocates say simpler zoning would pave the way for more homes and generate more affordable housing. But others say unregulated development would only make things worse.

This strange graph says LA style freeways and sprawl are a MORE efficient way to move people around a city than rail, for commutes less than about 50 mins
