EPISODE 132: WE ❤️ DUBLIN

It's been a tough time for our fair city recently and the levels of frustration being felt by people who want to continue living here but can't because of the housing crisis, the eradication of spaces to create and meet and the insane cost of living. It seems like we've made the decision that only people who buy into the definition of success that those who can accumulate the most are successful and can live in the city. We need to redefine our metrics of success as otherwise, whoever has the deepest pockets gets to have the final say on who gets to live in the city. We need to remember that no one owns this city, we all do. So as the closing date for submissions to the Dublin Development Plan falls on Valentine's Day, we asked some people to tell us what they love about the city. We hope that listening to this reignites the reasons you love Dublin but also encourages you to make a submission to the Dublin Development Plan before Monday. https://consult.dublincity.ie/en/consultation/draft-dublin-city-development-plan-2022-2028 This is our city. This is our love letter.
