After opening our\u00a0Banter<\/a>\u00a0autumn\/winter series on life in the capital city in the 21st century with a lively discussion on bikes and transport, our next Living for the City Banter will look at the issue of housing in the capital<\/p>\n

Burt Bacharach and Hal David, the men who penned\u00a0\u201cA House Is Not A Home\u201d<\/a>, were obviously never going to be looking for work as estate agents in Dublin. When you talk about living in the capital city, the question of gaffs is never far from the surface. After the ridiculous boom years came the inevitable bust and now come signs of a boom again, as anyone seeking to rent or buy a home in the last few years can tell you. It all sounds very familiar \u2013 and very worrying. Here we go again. Will we ever learn? And what exactly is there to learn?<\/p>\n

This Banter panel will poke and prod the issue of housing in Dublin. From changes in the rental market to the increase in price for family homes located in certain prime suburbs to the provision of social housing, is housing always going to be a hot button issue for capital city denizens? Is there a will or a way to import ideas about housing from other urban areas? Or is our desire for a semi-detached gaff with green patches front and back going to always trump everything?<\/p>\n

Talking about gaffs:\u00a0Ronan Lyons<\/a>\u00a0(economist at\u00a0Daft.ie<\/a>\u00a0and Trinity College Dublin), Colette Browne<\/a>\u00a0(Irish Independent columnist<\/a>),\u00a0Karl Deeter\u00a0<\/a>(adviser and analyst at\u00a0Irish Mortgage Brokers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Advisors.ie<\/a>\u00a0and Dr Lorcan Sirr<\/a>\u00a0(lecturer in housing studies and urban economics at\u00a0DIT<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Venue, date and times: Twisted Pepper (Middle Abbey St., Dublin 1), Wednesday October 23, doors open at 7.30pm and the Bantering starts at 8pm.<\/p>\n
