Cost Of Living

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

6 bed house in holylands £1980 a month 

My daughter has place last 2 years, en-suite £240 Wesley avenue... why are people paying that much?

There's obviously a demand for it

I'd say my daughters place is far better than the ones in Holylands... crazy ones are paying that

£330 a month is hardly crazy is it ?

Per person it's robbery

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Just checked with son there. Their house is £1600 per month.
5 rooms @ £320 each . Stranmillis

So not holylands?

No,

I would encourage anyone to get out of Belfast/Dublin/ London as soon as they graduate.

Problem is our stooges govt in Belfast have left us with a economy that forgets there is anywhere else outside Belfast . We have been exporting our wains here in Derry for over 100 years. Sinn Féin SDLP have not made it any better.

Derry is another great reason for a UI.

We are naturally connected to Inishowen, hemmed in by a govt in Belfast that ignores us and a govt in Dublin who don't know where Inishowen is

Location location location
Donegal is the poorest county in the other jurisdiction.
Economic activity in the North is concentrated in the NE.
The border really hammered Derry. And Donegal.

The west of the Bann in general. Shite investment, shite infrastructure and public transport. But we know why that is.

Excuse the ignorance but I was always told anecdotally that the rent in Belfast was OK. Like Dublin is totally warping everything. It is spreading out to neighbouring counties too.

That's the one mad thing about all the talk. It's like rent is not part of it all. It's all household bills and let's not mention the largest bill there is.

It's not ok for the slum conditions . It's about 700 sterling per month in holylands for disease ridden dumps

Per student? 5 in a house £3,500?

Yeah per room. Absolute crooks and as I said , mostly our own

As in SDLP types like Declan Boyle?

[RedHand88]

Surely there are not rooms in the Holylands for 700 a month?!?!

Dont know any of the lads up there to say other than you know they are mostly from our own community. Here in Derry its certainly across the  board

350 per room

Economiit's harder to understand post GFc activity in the North is concentrated in the NE.

It's harder to understand under power sharing. I think the North would have a lot of upside under a different system.

Trying to get anything passed under power sharing is brutal especially if it's perceived to favour the nationalist side.
