South of England is thriving to a point, but it is a commuter belt with local people forced out because they can't afford to buy in the area they were born and raised in as 2nd home owners and commuters swoop up the houses. Try a village in Yorkshire or the Midlands and they are dying. Even those down the South West are dead outside of the holiday seasonHave you been in the South of England recently? It’s thriving.
If you want a village to survive people have to live in it, not in some vulgar McMansion a mile away.
The same thing applies to many cities. Why is it okay for urban dwellers have to move out of the areas they grew up in because they are priced out of the market by people moving into those areas but it's a big deal when it happens in rural areas?South of England is thriving to a point, but it is a commuter belt with local people forced out because they can't afford to buy in the area they were born and raised in
Can you explain What you mean please,but it's a big deal when it happens in rural areas?
The majority of people born in relatively affluent areas of Dublin can't afford to live there. Where are the cries of unfairness for them? I haven't heard calls to a ban on culchies moving to Dublin.Can you explain What you mean please,
Are you proposing a "one-child" policy or is there a dog whistle being blown here? For our pensions to be paid for and for people to wash us in our nursing homes in 20 years time there needs to be population growth, it needs to be planned for as in providing houses in cities and towns.Surely with lack of housing, the lack of building, the lack of builders maybe the "planned population growth" needs to be slowed down. There are already 5 million people now , during the eighties it was around 3 million thats quite a hectic population growth. Looks like we can only handle 50,000 a year growth
Is there any public info on this?Tipperary County Council has started to provide serviced sites on the edge of villages which can be purchased by people who want to build their own home.
No of course not, you are just using that angle to shut down debate, can I ask a a question who washed us in our nursing homes and paid our pensions when we only had circa 3 million people for many decades. I'm not arguing against organic population growth but if the government is planning to grow the population they need to first sort out where are they all going to live. In any case all if this planned population increase will also need to be washed in nursing homes and pensions paid for so that's a false argument.Are you proposing a "one-child" policy or is there a dog whistle being blown here?

When there was only 3 million, the demographics were different. Ratio of young to old is changing as life expectancy increases.No of course not, you are just using that angle to shut down debate, can I ask a a question who washed us in our nursing homes and paid our pensions when we only had circa 3 million people for many decades.

I'm not shutting down debate. As has been pointed out population growth is predicted and needs to be planned for, that planning needs to recognise that urban based population growth is key so that we're focussing our spend on much needed infrastructure in the right places, instead of providing poor infrastructure everywhere.No of course not, you are just using that angle to shut down debate, can I ask a a question who washed us in our nursing homes and paid our pensions when we only had circa 3 million people for many decades.

They could if their parents stopped objecting to more houses being Built in relatively affluent areas of Dublin, serves then right,The majority of people born in relatively affluent areas of Dublin can't afford to live there.
