Is Dublin becoming as unaffordable as San Francisco?

Is Dublin becoming as unaffordable as San Francisco?

I moved from Vancouver, Canada to Dublin last year because i felt that i was being priced out of the city by its high rent prices and non existent tech sector.

Stayed there for 3.5 months and realized the situation was far worse in Dublin, at least in Vancouver, for the right amount you can find a place and transit is far superior. I've also learned that aside from car payments and insurance (which by the way it's way higher), over there, you have to pay an annual road tax and you have to go for an annual inspection for your car.

Re: Time to leave

No Bernard, Canada is not a suitable candidate for you to escape a tyrannical gov of your own.

We are in bed with the US and our liberties are being taken away at a faster rate then ever before.

We pretty much live in a conservative, police state where the gov pushes anti terror bills like the US Patriot act, police officers are allowed to shoot people in the streets with no consequences, etc, etc, etc.
