Should the government incentivize the construction of high density residential buildings?

No

Yes, providing that it can provide low cost housing

Yes - high density housing high rises) should be limited in size and geographic placement

Yes, and fund better development in rural Ireland and better transport connections while still balancing 65% greenery and 35% urban area, so as to keep the environment safe

Yes, but some historical sites/villages ect should require the high density houses to be more hidden or to have a facade matching the village

No, the government should instead abolish land lords and focus on the housing we currently have while finding eco friendly ways of making more

No, the government should incentivize the construction of medium density residential buildings as much as possible

Yes but not tower flats. more like estates with a doctors/dentists office. Unemployment officer and a park for a maximum of one per 3 estates.

No, but make houses that are more free and solve the housing crisis, with more environmentally friendly homes to prevent overcrowding.

Yes, but to a degree, with cities and large towns taking more high-density residential buildings than the rest of the country.

No, they should construct houses with gardens for different sized families and with room sizes adequate to allow dining space etc so that families can have meal times around a table. New homes are often too small to allow a good quality of family life.

Yes and no, we need houses, but there is ample space outside of the big cities but can be handled well in cities if done right with planning

Yes in certain locations but emphasis should also be given to refurbishment and reallocation of vacant properties, esp in town centres.

Yes, higher density housing in high rise form, but limit size in accord to existing urban environment.

The government should start a state construction company and build high density residential buildings itself

It depends on how high the density will be, a density that is excessively high can lead to a reduced quality of life too, lack of recreational spaces is a big issue

Yes, but only if they focus on building adequate up to date services in these high populated density areas

No a city planner here 🙄 that’s why we educate our students to see what works best?? Depends on how the works.. instructure all the way! Schools, playgrounds , transportation… clinics.. the list goes on? .

If the density won't badly affect the quality of life of the residents, then yes. And make it so that people can buy them, and not just rent them

Not without proper infrastructure installed beforehand and research into impact on local community- eg village, town

Only if the high density residential buildings are built where the infrastructure around can handle the increased traffic. Too often you see massive complexes being built along transport routes and roads which have no capacity for such a dramatic increase in usage.

Yes, if the necessary increase in schools, access to healthcare etc. are provided. Otherwise it just creates social unrest.

As long as they do these structures in areas with amenities to support them efficiently, e.g Schools, jobs etc i

High density buildings suit some constituencies and not others. Whereas I agree with building housing. Not all of it has to be apartments and flats.

This is a difficult one. For me, if it is done correctly and mass residential high rises do not form then maybe. If placed correctly and spread out evenly I could be for it.

Yes but the buildings should comprise of 1-2 bedroom apartments for those who can't afford large family homes.

yes i think the government should build high density residential buildings in empty or abandoned builsings, however they should not be private housing to keep the costs down and should only be 1-2 bedroom apartments/homes for those who can’t afford big family homes

High density should be allowed but construction companies and developers shouldn't be in entivised. The planning system should be rehauled so individuals can't block or delay planning out of selfishness

Yes, We need to do away with the building height laws and start building larger apartment complexes to help accomadate and reduce housing prices. This was one of our biggest mistakes that helped lead to the current crisis in the country

Yes as long as they have gone through all the proper training and precautions to make the places safe

I think high density residential buildings are a good idea once there not just plopped in the middle of communities that already don’t have the space or the resources for more residents. Also once the larger portion of the accommodation isn’t for private landlords and it’s given as council housing it’s a good idea.

Yes, as long as they follow the regulations, do not cut corners and are careful of the impact on the environment.

They should increase to Medium density - beyond a certain density, high density is not actually helpful as it is not in proportion to the possible available resources in the area

Yes, but with limits to big commercial construction and with the intention of them being affordable options and not just another expensive part of Irish housing.

Yes, the housing crisis is more important than limiting building size and height, particularly with affordably priced units

Yes in the right location with the right facilities and not repeat the Ballymun mistakes of the past

Yes if it’s coupled with an obligation to provide adequate amenities I.e public transport, parks, shops etc

Medium level residential nuildings i.e. 6 -8 floors high.

Yes but should focus on creating these spaces sustainably and in a way that integrates community

If they are fire safety and no more than 5 floors.

These should be a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 bed dwellings. Restricted amount of tenants per property. 15-20% income rent. Income capped. NOT all in Dublin. Those in Dublin, near city centre (Phibsborough, Drumcondra, Rathmines for example) should not have parking spaces, other than those for disabled tenants

The government should build public housing, not incentivise private development

Yes but there needs to be adequate services for citizens.

Yes, they should incentivise medium density buildings

I think they should probably get these companies to stop buying up all the houses, even if they build more they'll just sell them back to the companies, (that's a bit IF)

They should just finish ghost estates and reduce the primacy of Dublin and then high density residential buildings are not needed

Only if the areas provide sufficient social amenities such as schools, libraries, outdoor areas and doctors.

Yes, but also fix the housing market, properties are over valued, rents are too high, also incentivize building houses as well as apartments

Depending on area, need, and availability for employment then high density residences may be a worthwhile option, however the climate impacts of this are immense and must be considered

all the good farmland in county meath is being bought up for poorly built housing estates. i don’t necessarily agree with high-density housing, but if we had a couple of them in the countryside then good farmland wouldn’t be wasted.
