What's up with the blurred parts? Did the author use unauthorized drone footage?

`I'm Irish by birth and Swiss by choice and I have been here for over thirty years. Way back in 1921 Michael Collins sent a delegation to Switzerland and they took back to Ireland all that was useful and wisely left the rest. They took the constitutional and referendum system and that was and is all that is useful. Localism is fine if all you ever want to do is local, but that is not realistic in today's world and as a result the Swiss system stifles new business and innovation with it's countless levels of administration, rules and regulations. In fact one well know US company go so fed up trying to untangle Swiss administration that it located it's European operations in Ireland! As for voting, well you will never get the government you voted for because there there is an agreement between the parties as to how the government will be constituted on one recent occasion one of the parties did not even get to elect their preferred candidate, the opposition picked someone else from the same party. We regularly have referenda on the same issue, contradictory decisions and some that are either ignored or frustrated by parliament. Ireland's constitution today does a much better job of protecting it's citizens and holding it's government to account than the Swiss system.

I've been keeping a close eye on the housing market, and prices have been surging for years. It's becoming increasingly challenging for first-time buyers to break in. For someone with a $400,000 reserve, diversification could involve exploring a mix of investments, such as equities, fixed-income securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and perhaps alternative assets like gold or cryptocurrency, depending on risk tolerance and financial goals.

Ireland went bankrupt with FF in power and it was their housing policy that did it.Yet here we are again with FF in power again and in charge of housing .Their minister is a complete bluffer and has overseen house price inflation,which is a disaster.

This is by design. Our grovements want high housing price.

You lost me on this one man. 22 minute advertisement for todays sponsor. Really disappointing. There’s also no shortage of homes in Ireland. There’s 163k vacant properties in Ireland. 16k homeless people. A rent price crisis. New builds charging €1000 a month is not going to solve this problem. Also if you’ve never been to LA take a walk in Downtown or any built up area. Coincidentally I was visiting the area when you posted this video. You will walk past dozens of empty apartment complexes in only a few blocks. People can’t afford to rent in any of them so they lie derelict and are eventually town down, 6 years later for another new build of apartment complexes..

Naming vienna as a example of public housing is disingenuous. While it has public housing, so does america. The big difference is that vienna has enough public housing for private entities to have to compete against it. Also, the public housing is still built by private developers. Vienna might be many things, but its not a soviet style command economy.

Eye luv bee ng a landylurd in Bay areya❤

I love being a landlord in SF Bay Area 🤑🤑🤑

Very good video and great channel. Keep up the good work!

In terms of housing, Vienna and Singapore are quite different, which you haven't addressed. Singapore is mostly pubic housing (~80%), whereas I believe vienna is only 25% public housing, another 25% is made up on non-market housing, housing which is built privately by non-profit organisations. I think the vienna model would be best for Ireland (although very hard to get going), as the model in Singapore might only work in a very small country with a relatively autocratic yet very well functioning government.

Die Schweizer sind ausserordentlich diszipliniert. Nur so führt die aussergewöhnlich grosse Zahl privater Waffen zu keinen Problemen. Während jeder unbescholtene Schweizer unbeschränkt Waffen und Munition besitzen kann , ist dementsprechend der Waffenbesitz für Einwanderer aus ca 10 europäischen Nationen strikte verboten.

Singerporean people eat healthy. Alcohol is not much consumed. Any population with unhealthy eating, drinking and exercise problems will generate high health care costs.

The Biden administration put pressure on the Fed to keep interest rates low before the 2022 election so that Democrats would win more seats - and it worked, demoting the Red Tide to a Red Trickle. However, it also meant that Powell had to accelerate rate hikes afterwards, leading to fewer boomers, who had 2% mortgage rates, to move to houses with much higher mortgage rates. Trump was also responsible, as he had kept interest rates low during his term. Interest rates should have been higher during USA’s good economy, so they could be lowered when the economy is not doing well. Low interest rates meant that businesses and consumers could borrow more money, meaning more money available, resulting in inflation. Under Biden’s term, that meant what cost $4 in 2020 costs $5 today - and that would, roughly included houses. Economic indicators suggest a recession coming, though, imo, economic indicators can be off by years.

I think we need temporary deregulation at least. Maybe trial it for 4 years as a start. Then check the temperature and introduce some regulation back in. I've been working in construction since 2008 and it was so easy to get something approved by planners back then. Post 2020 it go much more difficult. This year it got phenomenally difficult. Something has to give.

My dream has always been to Move to Zürich. My family came from there long ago, and it’s a properly free country. The only country where I could make more than in the U.S, and it seems like I would do better with the social aspects, perhaps better than the U.S. biggest issue for me, is the language. I have been trying for years, but sticking to learning german is hard for me. Especially because I’m learning a German dialect I wont use in Switzerland.

Here even low income rentals is 30% of an income.

im glad i bought 13 years ago

Has anyone figured out that there are too many people here already? Nobody will even talk about overpopulation, immigration, an urban sprawl. Somehow all you " experts" think that the entire World is intitled to move and live here. Why? Because you think We are obligated to make the ENTIRE State into one gigantic mega- city, which it already is. It makes me sick on how you snobs blame this mess on so called "nimby's". There are already 40 million people here. The masses have changed everything that used to be "California" and have turned it into an overcrowded, overpolluted, and overpriced land of hypocrisy! If it were up to people like you "supply" dreamers The entire World would be able to move here. Wheather they have the means to or not. Who gives a damn about the environment, water supply, available resources, open space? Common sense? NOT YOU!

Ireland has to solve its housing crisis. Hopefully in an intelligent band human friendly way. This looks like a posive step. I hope it actually gets built.

4:48 you’re so close to being on the money about the reason why the nhs is so bad right now. If the nhs worked properly there would be no market for private healthcare. The need for private healthcare has to be manufactured by a failure of the public system, and the Tories have done their damndest to make sure the NHS fails.

2:47 So the issue is that the NHS is hopelessly underfunded…? That’s not a problem of the NHS as a model, that’s a problem of underfunding and sabotage of the NHS.

Interesting that an Irish channel would get the research wrong. Ireland was the first country to introduce a plastic bag levy in 2002.

Not everyone has to live in California. New York has very high housing density, it's also very expensive. Density doesn't solve housing prices. Abilene Texas has very affordable housing. Go to where you can afford to live.

I heard another place to look for the “future of housing” was I believe Toronto Canada. Because essentially the houses are all being bought out by wealthy foreigners who turn the properties into over priced rentals, and Canadians want to fix it, but essentially Trudeau is like “nah bro, I love money”.

Great video. I see this conflict playing out in San Mateo, in the SF Bay Area. California has enacted legislation that mandates cities to approve more housing. Cities that don't meet their housing quotas are subject to "The Builders Remedy" which allows developers to ignore local height and density limits. The result is that cities are desperate to meet their quotas. In November San Mateo voters passed Measure T, which raises the height and density limits in parts of the city near downtown and public transportation. This is a problem that is many years in the making and will not be solved quickly.

Pissing in the wind

If you are poor, unskilled or working class, there are 49 other State for you to choose. This State is not for you. Google Images: Newport Coast, Pacific Heights San Francisco, Hancock Park Los Angeles, Mission Viejo, Temecula Valley, Pleasanton, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay Ca, Palos Verdes Estates, Pacific Palisades, Copperopolis, Larkspur Ca, Tiburon Ca, Lathrop River Islands, Mountain House Ca, Dana Point, Oceanside, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Coronado, Los Gatos Ca, Lafayette Ca, Orinda Ca, Santa Rosa, St. Helena, Calistoga, Murphy Ca. It is not going to change. Interest rates are high and building materials will be going up due to tariff wars. Do not come to California

Fortunately, housing policy in most of the US is not like in coastal California (or New York, Boston, etc). In most places, the regulatory burdens and other building restrictions are far looser and housing prices are much more reasonable. Population flows have naturally been toward these less costly, less regulated areas, and maybe that's for the best as economic prosperity becomes more widely distributed and gradually moves away from the places that can't get out of their own way when it comes to housing.

NIMBYs are trying to keep prices high by preventing people from replacing single family homes with higher density

Every house is affordable to someone, and that is the only reason it gets built and sold. Every house builder deserves to make a decent profit; otherwise, there is no reason for them to invest their money and time in building any housing at all. Every time a new unit is built in a build-up area, it will have a negative effect on the value of existing units. That's universal. It should never be the reason to block development. Making it easier and easier for the private sector to build taller flat buildings in buildup areas is the only viable solution. 5-7 storey building with non residential at the street level will greatly help with reducing homelessness and unemployment.

ANY video on California Housing that doesn't talk about Proposition 13 is disingenuous. California has a 44% rental rate, every state but California and NY has a 35% rate...and California is HUGE. NIMBY is driven by landlords who are making a killing.

It's the mass immigration stupid. I don't think this was even mentioned.

Don’t forget about the 6 story single stairwell apartments which are illegal in California. Currently to build over three stories, if it is allowed at all, you need to add a second stairwell which means to pencil out the whole project needs to be much bigger and involve a “developer” building a typically ugly monstrosity. Since it is so big it attracts nimby’s who correctly point out that it is ugly, too big, and will add a lot of car traffic to our car centric suburban road network. 4 and 6 story single stairwell apartments on the other hand pencil out on single lots and are much less impactful on a case by case basis, are not typically ugly, can be developed by existing property owners, a.k.a your neighbors, and integrate much better into the existing fabric of a community. And yes, they can be made fire safe as they are in Europe, Australia, many other countries around the world, in Seattle, and now in all of Washington state.

Sadly the people employed by quangos never develop skills that the private sector values. So no career mobility - job for life whether you like it or not.

San Francisco is not "a refuge for people of color whose voting rights are being taken away from in southern states". The percentage of the population which is African-American has been declining. The non-white population largely arrived via other countries, not "southern states". The south has actually been receiving African-Americans from other states, in a reverse of the Great Migration that occurred prior to the civil rights movement. The idea that such policies are driving away African-Americans from the south is a myth.

You can live a decent life in the Bay Area as a Registered Nurse. I encourage Nurses to move here. A Registered Nurse can earn $100/hour here.

You can build all you want, as has been done in Manhattan, London, and Paris, etc. but anywhere that everyone wants to live will always be expensive no matter. Worse, overbuilding can ruin the character of a city like San Francisco we're past examples adding housing are everywhere in the city to see, ugly and poorly planned development.

Sponsored by property investment company? Unsubbed.

It began as NIMBY; proceeded to zoning limitations forbidding multi-unit housing; then came restrictions on buildings to ensure environmental improvements; and here we are. Only the rich can afford to live in California & god help the others who aren't but are stuck where they are. I was one of those & it took about seven years to extricate myself from that horrible shithole.

Full deregulation. I’m tired of living with my wife and 3 young kids in my parents house with my parents and adult brother. We need a drastic change, soon.

The whole world wants to live in an English speaking country. Freedom. High standard of living Fairness. Clean water Everything they cannot provide for themselves

Islamic Republic of Ireland ☪️ can learn to BE smart and NOT BE ANTI-JEWISH.

This is a fantastic and fairly comprehensive video on housing policy failures in America. Extremely well researched.

Excellent breakdown, love the channel.

Saying public sector housing is more expensive and is lower quality to private sector housing is just bullshit. While I agree private sector development is good as well, any way to increase supply is good, public sector housing in Europe and especially the UK in the past has been of higher quality than the private sector and is typically more spacious. I'm not sure of the dynamics of the US housing market but for Europe and the UK there has been a track record of very good public housing that is the most affordable option.

While deregulation is essential, there's the case of Québec. The Province allows more or less permissive permitting regime. However, there's still a pretty consistent shortage of rentals, family homes. and starter homes. That is to say, you do need deregulation but you will also need massive social housing projects to actually achieve as broad affordability as possible. One wouldn't work without the other.

Could you please do one on what Vienna has done so well when it comes to houseing.

Why when people say that english-speaking world do they always leave out predominantly black countries that speak English like Jamaica and Nigeria?

5:36 wasn't expecting RONALD REAGAN of all people to be responsible for increased government rules and regulations!
