Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. You may not owe rampant capitalistic behaviour better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Edit: actually, given https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37484857, I think we need to ban this account until we get some indication that you want to use the site as intended.

This overly simplifies things, especially in regards to Ireland's housing market, and ignores the fact that our construction sector is still yet to recover after the 2008 crash.

Housing as an investment, combined with piss-poor government policy, have certainly not helped things though.
