We urgently need Compulsory Rental Orders so no habitable home lies empty in order to keep rents high, espically new build apartment blocks
Leaving these homes empty just goes to show that the profit margins must be huge to go without any income

There’s a beautiful new apartment block 5 minutes away. Sadly they are all for rent at extortionate prices
What’s more infuriating is many of these apartments are still vacant” (text in alt) www.irishtimes.com/opinion/lett...

There's nothing inherently wrong with climate change. It's just that the ecosystems and built environments that we depend on as life support systems aren't equipped to handle the rapid changes. So if we want to live, we should deal with climate change ASAP.
