@sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie @ml@ecoevo.social to add to the conversation: I returned to Ireland after 30 years abroad and bought a house in a middle class suburb housing estate. I was pleasantly surprised to find out a couple of years later that 10 to 20% of all the houses and apartments in the very well maintained, tree lined estate are actually subsidised housing provided by the state. Ireland has moved from having ghettos of council or social housing to interspersing social housing in existing estates
