The article emphasizes that the ongoing housing shortage in Ireland is a result of intentional government policies rather than an unintentional oversight. It critiques the response to the crisis, suggesting it is not regarded with the urgency it deserves, even as public figures like Donald Trump remark on it during diplomatic visits. The assertion is that the government has a significant role in the issue, and that solutions remain unaddressed or insufficient.
"The chronic housing shortage is, and remains, a government decision. It is deliberate, formulated and concerted and is not treated as a crisis."
"Donald Trump almost had it right. Hosting the Taoiseach in the Oval Office for St Patrick's Day, he opined that the housing crisis was a result of Ireland 'doing so well'."
