Family moved here four weeks ago - burnt out. Vile scum.
Mad, my daughters street has been put on a "list" (Melrose street) and it's full of HMO's here is also as the only way you can rent a house and not a HMO is a couple or family, she's living with her Uni buddies..
Getting picked up and will stay home till Monday, not worth the hassle or listening to the wife!
They need to arrest these people that are sticking these posts up or fine people for sharing them
In fairness, putting HMOs into areas that are traditionally occupied by students only drives up costs for our own people or forces them to commute long distances: putting them into 'working class' areas pushes up rents and house prices, and let's face it Belfast would be a nicer place without 100 vape shops and 50 phone repair shops.
Same down south, always working class areas that have to put up with this as anyone who visits Croker knows, the strength offered by diversity needs to be more widely spread
In fairness they aint students any more, working professionals who can't afford housing, students still live in the traditional areas of Holylands and streets off Queens, no so much that side, with the new student accommodations going up they have plenty to chose from.
I lived just off the Lisburn road with a mate back in the day, the key for the door was your shoulder lol. rent was cheap and never any hassle living there but him being biracial there was some amount of scumbags around that Shaftsbury square at night willing to racial abuse him, this lad was a good digger back then so would he'd have smashed a few teeth in lol
