When @CSOIreland 2022 figures revealed 166,752 vacant homes in the ROI, an onslaught of folks played this down.
It’s now Aug 2022, @daftmedia report says “there were 716 homes advertised to rent nationwide” and there’s a meltdown by the media about a rental crisis.

Information by @CSOIreland highlighted an unmistakable #vacancy problem & reminds us that the CSO’s purpose is to “impartially collect, analyze and make available statistics about Ireland’s people, society and economy”.

@daftmedia purpose by contrast, is not impartiality.

To understand this better, we must see @daftmedia for what it is: one of three brands within the umbrella of “Distilled SCH”, a “global online classifieds specialist” – a private company whose business is ADVERTISEMENTS.

Ran an errand on foot — the best way to see a city — and I noted more business closings along a major highway inside the Seattle city limits. More open spaces/brownfields/derelict buildings to show off, I guess.
So what's the cause? High taxes/costs of doing business? Given that property taxes along that stretch are about 1% of property values, is that reasonable?
The parcel I noticed is valued at $610,000 for about 12,197 ft^2. Call me Kreskin but my guess was that the taxes would be about $6,000 (1%) and they are in fact $6,895.20.
