The above is correct, in the 1990's I was told by Dublin Corp. to "feck-off; there's private rented". So, in some weird way, the previous generation (at that time); had accessed in the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, public housing; and then been able to purchase same; but many people caught then in the 1980's, 1990's, there was a 'volte face'and you were (and are) merely stock via which money was given to investors. The sinister part is - 'never' to own any home; as the former generation had been able to. When the media say Germany has 'mostly rented housing' - what is this? rented from public authorities or rented from private investors? The private rented housing situation here may be a GOLDMINE for solicitors, as it is a swathe of different interests; tenants, residents, agents, investors, common areas, fees. The solicitor middle-class win again. Being in private rented (and mid-aged) is to know the grim oppressive reality of those policies.
