TODAY DAFT.IE RELEASED a report which has confirmed what we all knew already. Rents are now higher than they were at the peak of the Boom which means the Boom is back, baby.
So how do we cope with this horrible situation weâve found ourselves in through no fault of our own? Here are some suggestions.
1. Buy as many avocados as possible
Living up the expectations of baby boomers is something weâre supposed to strive for. However, given they own all the houses, itâs time we took our revenge by buying as many avocados as possible and throwing them at the houses. It might not be useful but itâs very therapeutic.
If babies and small children are allowed scream wherever they want in public then so should we. Scream on the bus, scream in Starbucks, organise a Facebook event where we can all just scream at the Spire. Iâm sure itâll help.
We canât blame Air BnB for all of our problems but given how many vacant properties are on it when they could be rented out instead, we feel the time has come for extreme measures. Design a voodoo doll based on the Air BnB logo and letâs get cursing. It canât hurt.
Given theyâre supposed to be building houses and theyâre not, itâs only fair that we get to move in with them. Have a sleepover with Simon Harris, move into Eoghan Murphyâs spare room or turn up to Leo Varadkarâs gaff to see how early he really gets up.

6 ways of coping with the fact that the Boom is back
TODAY DAFT.IE RELEASED a report which has confirmed what we all knew already. Rents are now higher than they were at the peak of the Boom which means the Boom is back, baby.
Oh yeah, love that sweet, sweet feeling of barely being able to afford rent in the capital and the government seeming to not care about it, at all.
So how do we cope with this horrible situation weâve found ourselves in through no fault of our own? Here are some suggestions.
1. Buy as many avocados as possible
Living up the expectations of baby boomers is something weâre supposed to strive for. However, given they own all the houses, itâs time we took our revenge by buying as many avocados as possible and throwing them at the houses. It might not be useful but itâs very therapeutic.
2. Scream anywhere and everywhere
If babies and small children are allowed scream wherever they want in public then so should we. Scream on the bus, scream in Starbucks, organise a Facebook event where we can all just scream at the Spire. Iâm sure itâll help.
3. Put a curse on Air BnB
We canât blame Air BnB for all of our problems but given how many vacant properties are on it when they could be rented out instead, we feel the time has come for extreme measures. Design a voodoo doll based on the Air BnB logo and letâs get cursing. It canât hurt.
4. Move in with a government minister
Given theyâre supposed to be building houses and theyâre not, itâs only fair that we get to move in with them. Have a sleepover with Simon Harris, move into Eoghan Murphyâs spare room or turn up to Leo Varadkarâs gaff to see how early he really gets up.
5. Just lie down
It doesnât matter where. Life is stressful enough as is and the Boom is only going to make it worse. So just, lie down. You deserve it.
6. Emigrate
Sure thatâs what weâre best at right? Whatâs the weather like in Australia at the moment?
