Wait until you hear about Ireland's one off housing disaster, often associated with a book of premade designs for isolated rural housing called "bungalow bliss".
Houses stretched along every rural road until it becomes "ribbon development" side by side.

Nice to see that colours are similar internationally to some extent.
But what you can do under the policy of each zoning is wildly different.

L4 is a cross connector that doesn't go via Manhattan.
This line goes from Hackensack to Cranford.
It takes in Teterboro and Meadowlands and links all the New Jersey destinations in its own outer orbital arc.
Also L3 is a shuttle from Summit to Cranford.

Woke to my tent collapsed on me.
Got up and fixed it, then couldn't stick the wind billowing, so went in to the main areas early.
Came back around 6pm for a jumper to find it collapsed again.
Fixed again.
I hope it's still standing, but I'm not looking forward to fixing deep in the am...

The National Development Plan review 2025 is out.
Thanks to @feljin.ie it has been pointed out that the train on the cover is a Translink (Northern Ireland) train.
While you might see them running the Enterprise service from time to time, they are not trains owned by Irish Rail in the Republic.

The beauty of Irish democracy is that our politicians are just generally out and about on the street.
The amount of TDs I've passed in the year I've worked across the road is mad.
Yes there's gobshites amongst them and the public, but generally we let them be, like bully gulls amongst pigeons.
