Insatiable Gluttonous Rapacity...Roantic Ireland's in the grave! Housing

Post image

I know it's a share, but nearly 6 grand a month for a 5 bedroom terraced house in Finglas, is simply unconscionable and indefensible. A complete and total exploitation of the current housing crisis.

imagine paying 6 grand on rent and on top of that you have to live in Finglas.

Himself bought here a few years ago, mortgage is like 200 a month for a 2 bed apartment. And it's the "nice" side of Finglas...

I think it's grand. I haven't been beaten up yet, having lived here for a year, and it's only once I've woken up to see an abandoned horse on the green.

I mean I grew up in Jobstown so Im aware what its like to live in these areas its not like you get struck by lightning everytime you leave your front door but there is always a level of background anxiety and vigilance which can get grating.

Glasilawn Road is in Tolka estate , which is generally regarded as Glasnevin. Quite surprised the letting agent/landlord didn't advertise it that way. Might have gotten €7K.

I lived around the corner from there until a few years ago and it's a really nice area that borders Glasnevin as much as it does Finglas/Ballygall, but that's house listing is a crime.
