Another crash worse than 2008 on the way Central banks printing paper money out of thin air,with no tangible assets to back it only junk bonds, lowering interest rate’s to zero in desperation to keep the ponzi scene going

It’s a total disgrace and whoever gave planning permission should be made to rethink it. The harbour still not finished after HOW MANY YEARS. Not called the ghetto for no good reason. The cove is not called the Rat traps for the same reason. Greystones is on borrowed time. Where is all the sewage going to go. People complain about N11 being a car park so now by the time this building fiasco is finished we will probably have a further 1000 extra cars on the roads. When are people in power going to use their brains instead of their greedy little wallets.
How do people afford these homes? Who is buying these properties?
The Banks just as they did before the crash

My opinion to Miranda this development is the last. straw that will destroy Delgany Greystones as the most livable town in Ireland, It will become one huge car jungle and the goads in and out will be chockablock
This letter I had published in the Irish Times, 23.1.20 is relevant!:

Planning and the capital
Thu, Jan 23, 2020
Sir, – Sheila Deegan (Letters, January 21st) is worried about relaxed planning guidelines in Dublin “creating ghettos for the future”. A lack of imaginative planning is a problem in other places too, with apartment blocks proliferating without proper infrastructure and a shocking lack of publicly accessible green space, especially semi-wild or biodiverse public space. One of the reasons for this situation may be that local councillors seem to have so little planning power, which is either controlled centrally, or wielded by profiteering local developers. – Yours, etc,
