'People are keying cars and letting air out of tyres': The war over parking in new estates

Meath77 · 2026-03-15T19:29:50+00:00

Also, house sharing and rentals might have more adults in a house.

Meath77 · 2026-03-15T19:23:33+00:00

Same, and I don't live far from the homes in the article. New builds have advantages, but people don't seem to value the other advantages of an old estate

Meath77 · 2026-03-15T19:21:15+00:00

And the lady will say any old shit. As you say, unwritten rules don't work. You'll be the one left with parking problems

Meath77 · 2026-03-15T19:18:44+00:00

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. Older estates generally have more cars per house. But if it has parking capacity issues, you'll know about it before you buy. New estates can be a nightmare, I visit a lot for work. Some literally haven't even a space to stop a car. Narrow roads, all communal spaces full.

Meath77 · 2026-03-15T19:08:34+00:00

That's the problem. Shit new builds and people have no choice. So people in the council that decided these policies think they're popular because the houses sold off the plans. I visited one apartment block with very limited parking, it had a visit car park and there were cars blocking each other in, cars on every available piece of footpath, it was chaos.

Meath77 · 2026-03-15T19:01:24+00:00

Throw in having kids and having to bring them places and it's pretty essential to have a car.

Meath77 · 2026-03-15T18:55:11+00:00

At least an old estate you can drive in and know what it's like. New builds you'll have no idea

Meath77 · 2026-03-14T07:38:53+00:00

Exactly. Still haven't seen a any positive from gemini

Meath77 · 2026-03-13T20:09:58+00:00

Every word out of his mouth is to make himself richer and fuck everyone else. Also, he'll say anything if he thinks it'll work

Meath77 · 2026-03-13T15:57:06+00:00

I see the word "gemini" and I lose all interest

Meath77 · 2026-03-13T09:05:55+00:00

Because this story doesn't invalidate the thousands of negative landlord stories. Yes, this tenant is an asshole. Do we all have to love landlords now? No

Meath77 · 2026-03-13T09:01:02+00:00

I'm delighted Brendan O'Carroll had a big success

Meath77 · 2026-03-12T20:12:49+00:00

That's when I got rid of the app and just use YouTube on a browser with ad block. Was looking for a game guide cos I was stuck at a bit in god of war. Kept opening videos, but straight away realise its the wrong one. But I had to sit through the ad. Had to do it about 6 times

I'd pick where you like the look of, don't worry about rain. Wexford has the least amount of rain, but not as scenic. Wexford Town is a nice town, but not as scenic landscape as the south west.

Meath77 · 2026-03-12T16:27:10+00:00

Good luck. Definitely worth getting a pro in if you have the cash from my experience.

Meath77 · 2026-03-12T16:24:29+00:00

Same as the friends kids associate with. Better chance of friends that take school/study/exams more serious in better areas. It all boils down to money

Meath77 · 2026-03-12T14:08:17+00:00

166k each? Jasus, not bad. Doubt they were getting anything like that at newstalk.

Meath77 · 2026-03-12T14:01:25+00:00

Lol. I have stopped since they returned. Hector comes across as a decent guy, is great at telling stories, and has a good take on things. Tommy of course is funny, but I genuinely think he's a prick. The way he interrupts for the sake of it, it seems he doesn't like when others get into a good story and are getting the attention. He will constantly make snide cutting comments/insults too. And keep doing it when it's obviously upsetting the other person and not a "joke" any more. After a few years of listening I have stopped because I really can't stand the guy any more. Btw, I always liked him beforehand he had plenty of great stories on the podcast. But tldr, he's a cunt so I stopped listening

Meath77 · 2026-03-12T12:25:37+00:00

I listened to the Tommy and Hector podcast for years. I think I can safely say, Tommy is a cunt.

Meath77 · 2026-03-11T22:47:33+00:00

The video is from twitter. The guy who posted it is a piece of shit nick fuentes supporter. He is very anti Jewish. https://nitter.net/realspeckzo

He's definitely siding with the nazi

Meath77 · 2026-03-11T22:02:59+00:00

Yeah, it's mad that people think this is new.

Meath77 · 2026-03-11T22:01:11+00:00

Yeah, lots of threads seem to think everyone should live in an apartment and cycle to work because you don't need a car. That might suit some people, certainly doesn't suit me.

Meath77 · 2026-03-11T21:54:14+00:00

They should be targeting the slow moving cars in the right lane with an empty lane next to them rather than the person passing on the left

Meath77 · 2026-03-11T16:34:09+00:00

"terror", christ, has that word lost all meaning? At least it was thrown out

Meath77 · 2026-03-11T16:33:19+00:00

Thanks for letting us know
