Couple of thoughts in response to this.🧵
First, it's a terrible photo of the wildflower meadow. The trimmed verges aren't shown, the flowers have gone to seed and are bent from a month of rain and wind.
A REALLY unflattering image.
Here's what it actually looks like now...

Suzhou, located in the lower Yangtze River and not far from Shanghai, visited by Marco Polo in the 13th Century. Amazed by its beauty, he named it the 'Venice of the East' after his hometown.
At over 2,500 years old, it is home to fine silks and other treasures

Hutongs (narrow lanes/alleys) were first established in the Yuan dynasty (1279–1368) and then expanded in the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties. The existing hutongs have been designated as protected, and every hutong has an ancient story #Beijing

The Government has proposed tax breaks for developers & investor funds.
It won't work.
The private market will never produce affordable homes.
We need a new direction in housing
#HousingCrisis
Part of my debate with developer Michael O Flynn on RTEs Claire Byrne show
There is a not enough public transport, or civic amenities to argue for this rent, They will break Dublin, the indefatigable joy of its people and history of creatives is what makes it breathe we don't have a Louvre, A Vatican , A Doges Palais , no affordable city no us.
This is utterly unsustainable and unacceptable
2400 per month to rent a 1 bed apartment
Build to Rent
Built to steal the life & future from our younger generations
Facilitated by Govts tax breaks for investor funds & state policy to NOT build affordable homes
I warned this would happen:
Housing policy failure would impact on every part of our economy & society
Schools cannot get teachers because of lack of housing
An autism class supposed to open last month is lying empty as a teacher cannot be found.
Need emergency action now
#Gaffs
I'll say it
The country is broken.
It's broken:
-we have the highest level of homelessness since the foundation of the state
-renters living in fear
-A generation who can't get the most basic need of a home of their own
-Youth emigrating as they see no future
A Republic?
THIS.

We keep letting men get away with doing the exact dehumanizing and violent things to women in the #sextrade that we're decrying when they occur outside the prostitution industry.
Paying a woman cannot be a permission slip for #misogyny.
